San Diego Burial at Sea

“I can't thank you enough for arranging for my husband's burial at sea. Captain Liz and mate Ellen were incredible. We were able to accommodate 2 children under 5 & 7 adults comfortably . It was the perfect send off for a sea captain !”

“My family's experience with San Diego Burial at Sea was really special. We all truly appreciate the experience and are thankful that San Diego Burial at Sea was able to make it possible. Booking Process Angie was so kind and helpful in explaining how the process worked, explaining the different options and decisions to be made, and helping me to select a date. Tawanna was wonderful when it came to helping me finalize the plans and pay the deposit. Since my family was traveling to San Diego from out of state, I opted to have San Diego Burial at Sea handle acquiring the necessary permit from the county for an additional fee -- this was very helpful! Boat Ride On the day, my family received a warm welcome from the captain, Liz, and our host, “Mo” — they made us all feel very comfortable and the boat was beautiful (and clean). They took really good care of us and the boat ride was very peaceful. Final Details Afterward, I was sent photos that were taken during the boat ride. A few days later the certificate was sent but required a minor edit. I replied to the email asking if updates could be made and an updated certificate was sent soon after with an apology. Everyone at San Diego Burial at Sea, from start to finish, made this experience one to remember fondly and with gratitude.”

“Our experience with San Diego Burial at Sea was exceptional. My family and I appreciate how they turned a very difficult day into an extremely memorable one. From the First phone call the experience was above and beyond what I had expected . I was given all the information I needed to help me choose what would work for my family. Angela sent me several emails that were very informative and answered all of my questions.. I was able to pick the right size boat we needed for the amount of people that would be attending. They took care of the permits and the photos and we’re just extremely helpful. I can’t say enough about how during a difficult time in my life. They somehow made that easier.. On the day of our celebration of life for my son, Joe we met captain, Liz, and our host Mo made that day a very memorable one for us . the boat was beautiful, clean and well equipped for our needs. Moe was very helpful with preparing Joe’s ashes and explaining how it would be done . She asked if there was someone in the family who would like to be in charge of lowering the urn and emptying the ashes she made sure to include all family members. When we reached the spot where we would scatter Joe’s ashes the Captain Liz made sure that we were in a spot where the light wind would scatter his ashes out to sea. We were given time for everyone to say something about their uncle.their brother, my son, and their friend.. I would truly recommend this for anyone who needs to have closure and would like to do so in a very calm and surreal atmosphere. I can’t thank everyone enough for everything they did to make it a very memorable experience for us.”
