How to customize a burial at sea?

Looking for ideas on how to customize a burial at sea to create a unique and one of kind ash scattering that commemorates your departed? Read further to get inspired on what is possible.

Ideas on how to create a moment for the group when spreading ashes at a burial at sea

  • Every family member can come to the event with an individual vial of the ashes and then each individual can pour their vial into the sea, or they can pour them into a collective basket which then a spouse or partner can release to show how the departed was a piece of each one of them.
  • Was the beloved a fisher? Arrange for the burial at sea to be a fishing trip.
  • If the departed was an avid surfer, set up a Hawaiian style paddle out. Fellow surfers and boogie boarders can come out to the water around the boat and watch as the ashes are spread.
  • Create memorial stones or shells. Bring a rock or shell for each guest and have them write their name and favorite memory of the departed.
  • When the ashes are spread everyone can toss their rock so the ashes are in the company of good memories from loved ones. Or they can be kept by the partner as a reminder of the loved one who had passed.

Burial at sea customization using flowers

  • Individual roses or flower leis can be arranged so that each member of the group can have an offering to throw into the water once the ashes are spread.
  • The vessel can be decorated with a floral tribute that showcase something your departed loved.

Decor

  • Bring a favorite photo of the departed and have it on display.
  • Create a memory board with memories from the life of the loved one who is being scattered.
  • Did the departed love pirates, Hawaii, a sport team or something specific? Create a themed event where guests can come dressed up and bring a few elements to keep in the decor of the boat.

Food and Beverage

  • Bring a favorite food or beverage of the departed for everyone to enjoy. Depending on the vessel you select you can or cannot bring food and beverages on board.
  • Arrange for everyone to receive a shot of the loved ones favorite alcohol, followed by one being poured out on the ashes.

Music

  • Bring a musician to pay tribute to the lost loved one.A Bagpipe or bugler players adds an additional element to the scattering.
  • Prepare a special playlist with songs to play

Beautiful Extras

  • Release something beautiful such as doves, ladybugs or butterflies.
  • Embrace their community. Were they avid sports fans or in a club with a distinct flag? Bring them wrapped in their favorite thing.
  • Paint the sky with bubbles. Allow everyone a means to blow bubbles and have the sky and sea full of your loved ones memory.

Client Reviews

Excellent4.9 Based on 232 reviews from ★★★★★ I used their service for spreading the remains of my aunt at sea. They were kind, courteous and very helpful with something I had never done before. They made it very easy for me and I would gladly recommend them to anyone in need of the same type of service but if you need them for anything else such as a bachelorette party, social party, romantic dinner at sea etc they would be great because they were very kind people and they want you to have a good experience.Bangaz N.Bangaz N. ★★★★★ I would highly recommend for memorial services. The boat was beautiful and very clean. The crew was so kind and professional and made this such a great experience. I am glad I went with them for my Aunt’s service.Stephanie D.Stephanie D. ★★★★★ The crew was welcoming, supportive and explained what to expect and when. They provided a cooler filled with water and ginger ale, as well as a table for our us to place our coffee and cake. The boat was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of comfortable covered seating inside and outside. We had enough time to say our goodbyes and share our memories. The remains were placed in a container with rose petals that I lowered into the water. The captain tossed our wreath into the water and we scattered our rose petals. We never felt rushed, there was time to share our grief. The crew were kind and respectful the entire time. It was a truly beautiful way for our family and friends to honor our loved one.Elaine M.Elaine M. ★★★★★ Working with the people at the Los Angeles Yacht Charter, made setting up the scattering of the ashes very easy, including securing the permit. The boat we went on out of San Pedro was great. They explained everything and were engaging. Communication was very good and responsive. Would recommend themBarry C.Barry C. ★★★★★ The charter went well, our family did 2 scatterings out of Marina Del Ray which was hard on us but the boat crew and captain Troy made us feel welcomed and treated everyone with dignity and respect. We would highly recommend Los Angeles Yacht Charter for your services.Chris C.Chris C.js_loader
