Funerals at Sea
Funerals at Sea of San Diego offers a professional, compassionate, eco-friendly, and affordable way of saying farewell to a loved one whose final wishes were to be laid to rest at sea. We are a full service yacht charter company providing assistance in planning your ash scattering at sea, full body burial at sea, and celebration of life memorial services. We pride ourselves in providing personalized service to people of all faiths.
First, please allow us to extend our sincerest condolences for the loss of your loved one. We understand this can be a very trying and challenging time for a family making final arrangements. Please know that we are here to assist you as much as possible with compassion and empathy for your situation. You know your loved one best. Whether you're choosing an ash scattering at sea service, full body burial at sea, or Celebration of life, we have a network of US Coast Guard certified and inspected charter yachts that can accommodate your loved ones final wishes. We assure you that our compassionate Captains are US Coast Guard certified and our crew are very experienced. We work closely with you to provide you, and your family and friends, with a professional memorial and burial at sea service from beginning to final resting place.
The Funerals at Sea division of San Diego Bay Cruises is able to manage your burial at sea services even if you’re not located in San Diego. Of course, we invite you and your loved ones to attend your memorial services, but we are also able to conduct unattended ash scattering and burials at sea if you are outside the San Diego area, but your dearly departed wished to be laid to rest off the coast of San Diego. If your loved one is not cremated, we can arrange for full body burials at sea in San Diego even if your loved one’s body is prepared in another location. Please contact us to make arrangements for transportation of remains to a funeral home in San Diego. Cremains can be shipped directly to us for unattended services and scattering at sea.
All of our yacht charters that are used for burials at sea and ash scattering are US Coast Guard credentialed Captains and professional crew. We can also provide you with a non-denominational officiant to give comfort to you and your family, and officiate a ceremony if you’d like. Or, you’re welcome to invite your own pastor or religious leader. When booking your service through Sea Burials of San Diego memorial services, you will be directly in touch with our Captain and coordinator for all of your service needs. This is an especially difficult time, emotions are elevated, and some people need a compassionate ear to hear their needs. Captain John Valente is our Lead Captain, Funerals at Sea coordinator, and Celebration of Life event planner.
