Burial at sea: A last journey across the sea

The burial at sea enables the ashes to be handed over to the sea with dignity. Ideal for those with a particular connection to the sea and the natural cycle of water.

The process of a sea burial

Preparation and transfer:
We take care of all necessary steps, from cremation to arranging the burial at sea. This includes obtaining the necessary permits and coordinating with shipping authorities.

The ceremony on the water:
The burial takes place during a boat trip, during which the ashes are handed over to the sea in a biodegradable urn. Relatives can decide to attend the ceremony and say their goodbyes in a personal and peaceful setting.

Remembrance:
After the funeral, the relatives receive a coordinate card of the place of burial. Many families later choose this location for memorial moments or to throw flowers into the sea.

Benefits of burial at sea:

  • Environmental friendliness: Using biodegradable urns that dissolve naturally in the sea.
  • Fulfilment of last wishes: Ideal for people who were connected to the sea or want an exceptional final resting place.
  • Privacy and peace: Offers an intimate and personal way of saying goodbye away from traditional cemetery burials.
