Burial at Sea Tributes from Maine to Delaware.   Beautiful,  Respectful,  Memorable,  Affordable

The ocean peace and tranquility have brought enlightenment and comfort to mankind for centuries. Eternally changing, forever enduring, the world’s oceans are a final resting place to countless generations.

We offer attended or unattended year round memorial cruises for traditional ash scatterings or complete full body (casket free) eco friendly sea burials per USCG regulations, presided over by the captain, your clergy or representative of your choosing (Funeral directors are required for full body burials, not for ash scatterings) . Serving all faiths with personalized services.
