Military Burials at Sea in Los Angeles

The honor our dedicated military personnel deserve is something we can only attempt to repay in exchange for what they have given their country. Our Military Burial at Sea ceremonies provide the most extensive military honors available for veterans and active service members.

​

Full Military Honors

​

Led by Past Flotilla Commander John Doogan and the accompanying Honor Guard, every military ceremony includes:

• Flag Presentation with proper military protocol

• Oral dissertation specific to the Veteran being honored

• Taps performed live

• Traditional prayers and readings

​

These military honors are donated by a group of past and present military personnel who find honoring their fellow servicemen the highest form of thanks they can provide.

​

Available on Both Vessels

​

Military burials at sea are conducted aboard The Duchess (up to 6 guests) or The Legend (up to 41 guests), departing from Marina del Rey.

​

The ceremony takes place three miles off the coast,—meeting federal requirements while providing a recognizable, memorable location for future memorial anniversary visits.

​

Coast Guard Inspected & Licensed

​

The Legend is annually inspected by the Coast Guard for more than a thousand different regulation points and held to the highest standards of safety. We are authorized by the State of California (License #1036) to conduct cremated remains disposition with the dignity and respect our veterans deserve.
