Sea Burial

Releasing the ashes of the deceased into the ocean or a body of water that holds particular meaning is an undertaking that many families have performed. Whether choosing cemetery burial, a cremation urn or sea burial, honoring the life of those that have passed can be done with dignity and beauty.

A memorial they would love

They loved the ocean, would stay in for hours riding the waves. They felt most at home with their toes in the sand, the salty breeze tickling the pages of their favorite novel. They were truly their best when watching the ebb and flow of the tide. The draw and magnificence of the ocean is one that is revered by many and releasing the ashes of the deceased that loved the water can have a cleansing effect on the lives of their family. There are scattering urns as well as biodegradable urns that are crafted specifically for sea burial and make for a ceremonious way to let a loved one go.

Capture their personality, their love, their passion

In addition to sea burial as a way to release ashes, choosing aquatic or ocean themed cremation jewelry is another personal way to hold close some ashes from those that have passed on. Starfish cremation pendants, dolphin urn jewelry and others have been hand crafted by jewelers and have a small interior that will hold a very small portion of cremated ashes, some sacred ground or maybe a few grains of sand from their favorite beach. Beautiful and trendy, these keepsakes come in sterling silver, gold vermeil and even 14 karat gold and include a small filling kit to assist with creating a cremation keepsake. A matching chain or black satin cording accompanies the selected memorial jewelry. Remembering them, cherishing the memories can be accomplished with careful thought and planning and there are a variety of methods and products that will help bring some peace to friends and family members.
