Thank you 877-277-2799 10/3/23 This past weekend at Ashes on the Sea, we've witnessed some profoundly moving moments as we assisted families in saying their heartfelt goodbyes. From the beaches of Ventura to the harbors of San Diego, we navigated the magnificent waters of California, honoring the wishes of the departed and their families. Each ash scattering ceremony was a unique journey - a blend of shared memories, love, and respect. As we watched the ashes disperse into the vast Pacific, we were reminded of the beautiful cycle of life and death - a touching testament to the enduring spirit of those who have left us, but whose legacies live on in the rhythm of the sea. 9/26/23 "Sea of Serenity: Honoring Life with our Newport Beach Burial at Sea Services" Happy Tuesday, dear readers! Today, we venture into the heart of our unique offering in Newport Beach, California - our Burial at Sea services. Nestled amidst the natural beauty of our sun-kissed shores, we have discovered a tranquil, reverent way to bid farewell to our loved ones. In the gentle embrace of the sea, we provide families an opportunity to celebrate life, even in the face of loss, with our eco-friendly sea burials. Our mission at our Burial at Sea business is to create a serene, respectful, and memorable farewell, tailored to honor each individual life. We carry out each ceremony with the utmost care, using biodegradable urns to ensure our operations leave no environmental footprint, preserving the pristine charm of Newport Beach. As the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the gently rippling water, we stand with families, creating a space for love, remembrance, and peace, amidst the vast tranquility of the sea. 9/19/23 A Gentle Farewell** This weekend we had the privilege of guiding a family through a gentle farewell at sea. The sun dipped below the horizon as we sailed out from San Diego Harbor, casting a golden glow on the water. Surrounded by the vastness of the Pacific, our clients found solace and a sense of closure as they scattered their loved one's ashes into the ocean's embrace. It was a serene and heartfelt ceremony, a reminder of the profound beauty in the cycle of life and the comfort that nature can provide.
