A Final Salute: Honoring Veterans with a Dignified Sea Burial



For many veterans, the sea represents freedom, courage, and the unwavering call of duty. Whether they served in the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, or simply held a deep respect for the ocean, a sea memorial offers a meaningful way to honor their life and service.


At Ashes 2 Oceans, we specialize in unattended and attended sea scatterings, offering veterans a peaceful, honorable return to the elements they once protected.


Why Choose a Sea Burial for a Veteran?

Many families are unsure what to do with a loved one’s ashes after cremation. If your veteran’s ashes are still at home, tucked away in a closet or resting on a mantle, you’re not alone. But holding on can sometimes feel like an unfinished chapter.


A sea scattering offers:

  • 🌊 A final resting place aligned with military tradition

  • 🇺🇸 An elegant, respectful tribute—whether you’re able to attend or prefer an unattended option

  • Symbolism of peace, duty, and eternal freedom


For veterans who found solace in the waves or spent years serving at sea, this farewell speaks louder than words.


Attended or Unattended Options Available

  • Attended Services: Available off the coast of Channel Islands, California, where families can gather on the water to say goodbye in person.

  • Unattended Memorials: For families across the U.S., we offer respectful, documented sea scatterings—carried out with care by our crew.


We handle everything, from the secure delivery of the ashes to the precise GPS recording of the scattering location, giving your family peace of mind.


Honor Their Life with Purpose

Every veteran deserves a final tribute that matches the courage with which they lived. If you’ve been unsure of what to do with your loved one’s remains, now is the time to give them the honor they earned.
