Scattering ashes at sea is a beautiful way to treasure a loved one’s memory forever.
Choosing how to put a loved one to rest is a personal, emotional, and difficult decision. You need to feel at peace with your decision, and we are here to help in any way we can. A burial at sea ceremony offers a serene and dignified way to say goodbye while celebrating a loved one’s life.
Water Burial is Peaceful
Burying a loved one at sea is dignified and peaceful. The ocean provides a beautiful backdrop for saying goodbye and honoring your loved one. Sounds of the city fade away, allowing peace to fall over you as you treasure those closing moments. During the ceremony, it’s just loved ones gathered to say “thank you” and relish the times you had together. Instead of the hustle of the city, or the eerie silence of a cemetery, the sea provides a feeling of serenity that is unparalleled. As a result, your thoughts uncloud, and your goodbye to your loved one is more personal.
It Allows You to be Close Again
By removing the distractions and noise of the city, you can feel that bond between you and your loved one again. Water burials are personal and emotional because of the feeling of being alone with your loved one. Even with a large group of people celebrating a loved one’s life, the sea creates a sense of closeness and offers a backdrop for reliving memories. Bringing the ceremony to the ocean is a beautiful way to celebrate and remember your loved one in a unique way that provides the closure you desire.
The Sea and Grief
Losing a loved one is a process full of grief and sometimes regret. A water burial provides the space necessary for you to work through each of your thoughts and emotions, uninterrupted. The ocean is a beautiful place that understands the depth of grief and longing. By burying a loved one at sea, you allow yourself the space to grieve and reconcile each emotion you feel as you say goodbye. The waves create a background of white noise that entices you to remember the good times and honor your loved one, even through the sadness.
Sea Burials Lower the Costs
The average funeral can cost anywhere between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on the method and location. Not to mention the mountain of paperwork and time needed to decide on each detail of the ceremony or burial. In addition, the tasks associated with laying a loved one to rest can cause tension and create a lost sense of direction. By choosing to cremate and perform a water burial, families can experience serenity and peace in a ceremony they will treasure forever.
Our water burial prices depend on the number of guests who wish to attend the ceremony and the length of time the family will want in honoring their loved ones wishes. Each package is fully customizable to suit your needs and fulfill your vision. When a family group exceeds nine passengers, we then use a three hour time-frame to provide adequate time for all family members to speak, share, and reminisce. We have two elegant yachts, The Duchess and The Legend, which are immaculately maintained and always fully equipped to service your every need. The Duchess will host up to six people, with a price range of $900 to $1200. Our larger yacht, The Legend, will host up to 41 people and varies in price from $1500 to $5800. Our luxurious motor yachts provide beautiful weather protected settings, weather exposed settings, and comfortable restrooms. Feel free to check out our vessels in more detail on our website. Our team will take care of everything you need for your loved one’s burial at sea. We also offer unwitnessed ash scatterings, where you send us your loved one’s ashes, and we lay them to rest for you. Unwitnessed burial at sea costs $175.
