San Diego Burial at Sea

San Diego Burial at Sea accepts ashes for scattering from throughout the United States for pet ash scattering.

Having a beloved pet pass is a painful process and they, like humans, need to be grieved and said good-bye to. We would be happy to provide an ash scattering service for them.

Pet ash scatterings may be attended or you may choose to have us respectfully scatter the ashes in the Pacific Ocean off the San Diego coast in your absence. (same procedure as humans)

An increasing number of people are choosing to have their pet ashes scattered - it has become the national standard in caring for a pet which has passed. It is very inexpensive and a beautiful way to say goodbye in a peaceful beautiful setting to a trusted friend.

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" (license#751).

Our pet ash scattering ceremonies are performed from a variety of locations off the San Diego Coast in the Pacific Ocean. We perform the ash scattering approximately one mile off the coast.

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

Pricing

Regarding pricing for pet burial at sea please refer to out prices page. The attended and viewing from shore will be the same price. for the scattering in you absense for pet please substract $100 off our quoted price.

Urns and Keepsakes

Many families who choose the cremation option for saying goodbye to a beloved pet also choose to retain a portion of the cremains as a keepsake. If you do choose to use our scattering service and should decide to purchase a "keepsake item", we will be able to offer a 10% discount off the retail price.

Over the years we have established a relationship with "In the Light Urns", a California based company which carries a wide variety of pet urns and keepsakes. If you would like a product from this company, just let us know the details of the product and we will purchase it for you.

As a general rule of thumb your will receive about 15 cubic inches of cremains per 20 pounds of animal. Using this rule, a 40 pound dog will result in 30 cubic inches of cremains.
