Attended Ceremony - Up to 6 family members or friends may accompany the remains to the Sea Burial.

Unattended Ceremony - Family and friends do not attend this ceremony.

• The cremated remains are shipped to us with the completed Authorization Form after having scheduled the event with Blue Pacific Ashes at Sea.
  
  
• Upon receiving the remains, the Captain will scatter them over the open sea with flower petals.

• The scattering site will be recorded by way of latitude & longitude.  This information will be documented in the Certificate of Burial should you wish to revisit the site.
  

Observe from Shore - Family and friends may choose this option if they do not wish to accompany the remains on the vessel, yet would still like to be a part of the burial event.

• Standing atop the Palos Verdes cliffs, family and friends may observe the ceremony performed in the waters below by the Captain.
