Farewell by Sea

Welcome to Farewell by Sea, where we specialize in providing dignified and honorable ash scatterings and full body burials at sea. Our mission is to offer an ecological and thoughtful farewell for your loved ones.

At Farewell by Sea, we understand the importance of preserving the environment. By choosing a sea burial, you can ensure that valuable land resources are not tied up indefinitely, and the need for maintenance and fuel for traditional burials is eliminated. It is a small step towards reversing the damage caused by previous generations and creating a better future for generations to come.

Many individuals choose ocean burials for personal and spiritual reasons. The allure of the sea is undeniable, whether it be for sailors, nautical enthusiasts, or simply those who have an affinity for the water. It provides a unique and profound connection that is unparalleled.

In addition to the ecological benefits and personal connections, an ocean burial offers a more romantic and emotionally fulfilling experience for loved ones. The act of placing wreaths on the water and bidding a final farewell creates a sense of closure that is different from traditional land burials. We ensure that everyone has the opportunity to express their farewells by circling the burial site for a significant amount of time.

For ash scatterings, we open the urn and allow the wind and waves to carry the ashes away. Alternatively, some choose to place the urn and ashes directly into the sea. In the case of body burials, we use caskets made of pure wood and concrete, free from non-biodegradable materials. The body is embalmed with an earth-friendly and biodegradable fluid. The casket is gently lowered into the water with a davit, providing a peaceful and respectful final resting place.

We also offer an exclusive Armed Forces Program, providing a unique and personalized experience for honoring military personnel. Unlike traditional burials from US Navy ships, our program allows family members to be present during the burial ceremony. They can witness the casket being lowered into the water, creating a more meaningful and memorable experience. We understand the importance of honoring those who have served their country and strive to provide a solemn and dignified tribute.

Our carefully selected and dedicated crew members are passionate about providing exceptional care during this pivotal moment in your life. We take care of every detail, from the music, flowers, food, and drink, ensuring that your wishes are met. Whether you desire a solemn or more celebratory atmosphere, we will create the experience that reflects your loved one's spirit.

Choose Farewell by Sea for an ecological and heartfelt farewell that you and your loved ones will cherish forever. Contact us for more information or to request an information packet. Together, let us create a memorable and honorable tribute at sea.
