Burial at Sea in Alabama
Alabama’s Gulf Coast is compact but deeply loved — Mobile Bay’s three centuries of seafaring and Dauphin Island’s quiet barrier beaches. The warm Gulf beyond receives a farewell with Southern gentleness.
Sea Services has arranged burials at sea and ash scatterings in Alabama since 1991. Every service is performed by U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captains in full compliance with EPA regulations, a minimum of three nautical miles from shore, aboard Coast Guard–approved vessels.
Our Alabama departure points:
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.
