I am so glad I found this small family business to perform my future mother in law’s burial at sea service. From day one, their communication was wonderful! They responded to all questions and inquiries within 24 hours (usually within an hour or so really)!Once we were ready to book, the process was extremely smooth and straightforward and information found on the website was accurate.Customer service was great including being understanding when my family and I were running a few minutes behind due to there being an accident on the fwy. I texted to let them know of our arrival and they said they would inform the captain (which they did).The service and day was beautiful and peaceful. Everyone really loved the send off.Thank you to this family for doing such a great job. I definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a burial at sea for a loved one! It was a fantastic choice.
My family and I booked a charter from Redondo Beach for a burial at sea service. LAYC was easy to work with from the start, very communicative and detail oriented. Our service was everything we hoped for, and Uli was amazing the day of, when we were full of grief. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an at sea scattering.
We appreciated the kindness and assistance given. The burial at sea of our loved one went smoothly and peacefully. We chartered the Betty-G from Redondo Beach. Thank-you
The service was great, we got setup with a boat in Redondo beach. It was for a burial at sea, the crew was professional and helpful.
We did scattering of my dad's ashes on the Sea Trek. Tracy and the Captain (don't recall his name) were amazing. So kind. They walked us through the process. but beyond that they were so wonderful to our family. Highly recommend them.
