On behalf of my family and I, I would like to let you know what a wonderful experience our trip was yesterday. The captain Brian and hostess were an absolute delight and so accommodating to our needs. They went out of their way to make the journey for our mom everything we wanted it to be. It really was a wonderful experience that my family and I will never forget. Thank you again to you and your entire staff. Kim - Dec 2011

Saturday’s event could not have gone better, you provided just what we needed. The captain and our hostess were expert in their roles. Thanks to their help, our small ceremony was gracious, private, and dignified. It meant a great deal to me, and to all my family. Thanks to everyone for their service.. Bill- Oct/2011

I wanted to thank you for making the scattering of my mother's ashes such a peaceful and dignified experience. You all did a wonderful job of making our family feel comfortable. We all felt that you handled honoring our wishes and privacy with respect and care. At no time did this feel like a "business" venture and your concerns felt genuine. It is such a sacred event and taking part in it enriches us all. I felt you all understood that. Louise - July/2011

The trip was perfect. Absolutely perfect.  The captain and our host were just lovely and so very kind. My sister and brother and me all just kept saying how perfect, relaxing, respectful, and peaceful the whole day was. Thank you so much for this perfect departure and enduring memory. Deborah / May 2011

The captain and host for our sea burial were absolutely amazing! They listened to our stories, comforted each member of our family as needed. The ceremony was beautiful and the scatter was breathtaking and done with great respect. I don't have enough room for all the praise I have for this company and their crew. I would highly recommend their charter for any event. The memorial certificate that they provide is just as beautiful. My Dad being a seaman himself, is very proud. Christie/March 2011

I would highly and without hesitation recommend the sea burial services provided by San Diego Burial at Sea. Words cannot adequately express my praise. It is so comforting to those left behind to know without question that the burial of our loved ones was accomplished with such beauty, such a feeling of peace and tranquility, and such professionalism on the part of the people involved. Norma / Feb 2011

The ash scattering (sea burial) was absolutely beautiful   From the very first phone call to the end, this was a wonderful experience, with all so very thoughtful in helping us plan this event.  It surpassed all expectations, and we  want to thank you for making it such a special day. Elizabeth/ Jan 2011

From my first telephone call,  San Diego Burial at Sea was available with support and guidance.  And on the day of the trip, their solicitude and attention to the needs of all guests aboard was a real godsend.  Capt and crew paid attention to detail and made the experience of fulfilling my Dad's wishes by burying him at sea over the Pt. Loma kelp beds a memorable reality for all of us.  And we were blessed by the appearance of a young sea lion who peered up at us after making a double pass at the stern of the boat just after the ashes were released into the sea. Linda Jan/2011

We contacted San Diego Burial at Sea and from the start, they welcomed us with warmth and support. From the moment we stepped on board the beautiful, comfortable yacht, we were treated with love and respect, treating our loss as importantly as if it were their own. They gave my brother and I time to mourn alone, and knew when to bring lightness and beauty to the occasion, too.Debby Dec/2010

My family and I appreciate the wonderful sea burial service you gave us, you were so helpful from the first phone conversation to the very end. It was a great send-off for my Bill. Now he is flying with the angels.Vonelle Nov/2010

I will not hesitate to recommend you all and your beautiful yacht, High Spirits, for any occasion, but especially for memorials that are both intimate and relaxed. You are a highly professional, yet comfortable (and comforting) staff; I felt like we were with friends, that meant more than you know. I am grateful for the support and gorgeous atmosphere provided. Elizabeth Aug/2010

We were very happy with your services and also wanted to express our thanks to the captain and crew for their hospitality. They made the entire experience as pleasant as possible, and we enjoyed listening to them share their knowledge about the area. Everything was handled beautifully - the boat, the scattering, and the pleasant trip around Point Loma. In many ways, it was a very healing experience for all of us.Larry Aug/2010

The burial at sea of my father was so uplifting and peaceful. The host was great and made the whole experience even better. The boat tour and scattering exceeded everyone's expectations and the memories will stay with us forever. All of my relatives said my father would be very proud. Thank you so much for offering this service.Christine June/2010

Very nice, I would like to thank you for a wonderful and very thoughtful service. May God Bless You and your family. My father would be very HAPPY!!! Bob May/2010

This was absolutely a fantastic experience.  The crew was very pleasant and accommodating from the very first phone call until the charter was completed.  As we know, this type of boat tour is not for a pleasure ride and  not one of the happiest times for family and friends.  However, this crew handled the entire trip beyond our expectations. Lorraine October/09

Excellent boat - great staff and servce for a burial at sea Richard April/08

So glad to read about your boat in the Beacon, it was perfect for our service Blanch March/08

I can't say enough positive things about the service on Monday - it was perfect.  The Capt. you provided for us could not have done a better job.    I will not hesitate to recommend your service Ginger/07


An increasing number of people are choosing cremation and burial at sea (ash scattering) for a variety of reasons. Not only is it significantly less expensive, rich in nautical background and preserves land usage, but is a celebration of life - saying goodbye in a peaceful beautiful setting.

San Diego Burial at Sea captains are licensed by the United States Coast Guard, we are commercially insured and licensed by the state of California as a "Cremated Remains Disposer").

Our ash scattering ceremonies are performed from a variety of locations off the San Diego Coast such as Ocean Beach Pier, Crystal Pier or the Cabrillo Monument on Point Loma. We perform the ash scattering approximately one mile off the coast.

The exact GPS position of the burial ceremony as well as weather conditions are recorded. This information is then used to complete the memorial certificate which will be sent to the family. Additional services can be provided as requested.

Many notable people have chosen burial at sea such as Steve McQueen, Rock Hudson, John F. Kennedy, Jr as well as many others. Currently approximately 46% of people would choose cremations and many of them choose to scatter the remains in some manner, many over water. Burial at sea is common if the deceased enjoyed the outdoors and the water. Perhaps they loved boating or some other aspect of the aquatic environment.

It is also possible to perform a burial at sea with no remains. This can be done when it is not possible to retrieve remains - in the case of a disaster where no body is found. A service can be performed and a memorial or flowers placed in the water. Although not strictly a burial at sea, it does provide the family and friends with a form of closure to aid in the grieving process.

Not only do we offer Burial at Sea - ash scattering services -in San Diego for human clients, we also provide ash scattering services for pets. The ashes are scattered in the same manner in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, CA
