A Certificate of Burial at Sea documents the final journey.
We take care of all logistics for your family.
A quick call answers most questions.
Why 'Return To Sea' is Different
Deployed in the Gulf Stream far beyond coastal waters
Most ash scatterings occur close to shore.
Return To Sea deployments are conducted offshore where the
Gulf Stream carries the memorial drifter into the open Atlantic.
Follow the Journey in real time
Each memorial drifter is tracked via satellite, allowing families
to follow its path across the ocean.
Family need not participate in the deployment trip
Vessels of various sizes can accommodate family ceremonies.
Designed with environmental responsibility in mind
The system uses minimal plastic and no moving parts, allowing
for a simple controlled dispersal in the open ocean.
A Service built on accountability and environmental sustainability -
not at the whim of coastal breezes.
It's Never Too Late
Many sea-going men and women had always wished to be buried at sea.
Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Seamen, Commercial Fishermen.
Even coastal folks and beach lovers.
For many, their ashes reside within a memorial Urn on the family mantel.
With Return to Sea, they can finally be honored with dispersal in the Atlantic.
Deceased Spouses or Partners can make their final journey in the Atlantic together, with dispersal of both from a single Return To Sea drifter.
Even if years have passed, it’s not too late to honor that wish.
