Videos for Sea Burial
These videos offer a clear look at the burial at sea experience. Each service is unique, but they reflect the peaceful, meaningful, and well-coordinated ceremonies we provide for families throughout Southern California.
Below are a few examples of services and options available.
🎥 A Typical Burial at Sea Ceremony
This video shows a typical attended service. Vessel selection varies depending on group size and departure location, but the overall experience remains consistent — calm, respectful, and thoughtfully guided.
On larger yachts, optional features such as catering, bar service, and sound systems may also be available.
🐢 Biodegradable Turtle Urn
This example shows the use of a biodegradable turtle urn, one of the most popular options for ocean scattering.
It is designed to float briefly before naturally submerging. Families often personalize the urn with messages or flowers before release.
🌊 A Meaningful Experience for Families
Providing burial at sea services is something we take seriously and approach with care. Each service offers families an opportunity for reflection, healing, and closure in a natural ocean setting.
🕊️ Serving All Faiths and Traditions
We work with families of all backgrounds and beliefs. In this video, Buddhist monks are present, offering prayers and chanting throughout the journey to sea.
📜 Ceremony Readings and Personal Touches
Families may choose to include readings or poetry as part of the service. In this example, the captain recites “Crossing the Bar” by Lord Alfred Tennyson — a meaningful addition that many families find comforting.
