Burial at Sea in Washington
Washington offers farewells amid grandeur — Puget Sound beneath Mount Rainier, orcas in the San Juan Islands, the Strait of Juan de Fuca under the Olympics, and the open Pacific at Westport. Few coasts on earth are this majestic.

Families who wish to be aboard can plan a private memorial charter from any of these ports — most last 1.5 to 2 hours dock to dock. If your family cannot attend, our Captain’s Service performs a dignified, fully documented unattended scattering, available year-round.
