Understanding Unattended Services
Burials in the Sea offers Unattended Memorial Services, providing a respectful and dignified option for those who wish to have their loved ones’ ashes scattered at sea without the presence of family or friends.
This service is designed for individuals and families who, for various reasons, cannot attend the ceremony but still wish to honor their loved one’s final wishes with the serene backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.
Our Unattended Memorial Services are conducted with the same level of care and respect as our attended services. We ensure that your loved one’s farewell is handled with dignity, in the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of Southern California’s seascape.

Attended Burial At Sea Service
Our Attended Burial At Sea Service allows you and your loved ones to participate in the ceremony aboard one of our vessels actively. Surrounded by the calming waters and open sky, you can scatter ashes at sea in a deeply personal and memorable tribute. This attended option provides an opportunity to share stories, reflect, and honor your loved one together in a setting that captures the profound beauty of nature and the spirit of farewell.
Pet Memorial At Sea Services
The bond between humans and their pets is irreplaceable, and our Pet Memorial Service At Sea allows you to honor your beloved companion in a truly special way. We create a peaceful and respectful ceremony to scatter your pet’s ashes at sea, offering a heartfelt farewell amidst the soothing rhythm of the waves. This service provides a comforting sense of closure, knowing your cherished pet has a final resting place as beautiful and boundless as your love for them.
Revisiting Memorial Location
Our Viewing From The Shore service is an ideal option for those who prefer to remain on land while still feeling connected to the ceremony. We selected a picturesque coastal location where you can witness the scattering of ashes at sea from a peaceful vantage point. This choice combines the intimacy of being present with the comfort of staying grounded, creating a meaningful and serene experience.
