Red Cross| I do not wish to be cremated. Can I still be buried at sea? |
| Burial at sea of human remains that are not cremated can be accomplished, but it is often a lengthy and expensive process. Regulations require burials of this nature to be made at a specific depth in the sea. In many locations, a long journey is required to satisfy this requirement. This ocean voyage often requires a larger vessel, and may be uncomfortable for those who are less experienced at sea travel. The casket must be specially prepared to insure that it quickly descends to the ocean floor and remains there. It must also be secured according to strict regulations. Sea Services can coordinate this type of traditional service with your funeral director. You or your funeral director are welcome to contact us for more information |
