With over 20 years of experience in helping families dealing with a loss, Los Angeles Burial at Sea welcomes mourning families gently and warmly to find peace for their loved ones in the waves of the sea.


Scattering ashes at sea has long been a fond interment option for many families. Reasons for choosing maritime final rites might include honoring the expressed wishes of the deceased, love of the sea, nautical background, environmentally friendly reasons, spiritual connection with the ocean, affordability or conservation of land and space. As the oceans are all connected, many family members find comfort knowing that their loved one travels the world on the currents of this powerful and beautiful element. Families and friends with loved ones resting at sea also know that they can visit any ocean shore around the planet to honor their departed, instead of being confined to a cemetery location.


When it comes to scattering ashes at sea in Southern California, Los Angeles Burial at Sea offers several options. Unattended ash scattering services are provided for family members unable to attend for whatever reason, and this company will take care to handle the ashes gently and provide coordinates for scattering so that the family might journey out to that space when they are able. Families who can attend but who aren’t interested in joining on the boat can opt to witness the ocean ash scattering from shore locations like the beach, surrounding hills or from one of Los Angeles Burial at Sea’s piers. There is also an option for families and friends who want to be present for the scattering. The family attended ash scattering services bring all those present out to the scattering point on a beautiful vessel that can accommodate up to 125 passengers for a memorial service at sea. All of the vessels feature indoor and outdoor seating and full washrooms, and catering options are available. Once the ashes are given to the sea, attendees can choose to return to land, or they can stay aboard for an extended period of time of traveling the coastline or simply sailing the open ocean.


Location options for dispersing created remains in the Pacific Ocean are varied. The vessels travel out past the harbor entrance, then journey to the family’s choice destination, whether it’s near the coves and striking cliffs of Laguna Beach, the white sand beaches of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, or even the beautiful waters near Catalina Island.


Scattering ashes at sea can in itself be a memorial service, or families can choose to host a full memorial service with a Los Angeles funeral home, followed by a private ocean ash scattering with Los Angeles Burial at Sea. The professional and courteous staff will work closely with families to help them in this difficult time, accommodating wishes and assuring a peaceful final resting place for their loved one.
