Arranging a burial at sea
It is possible to give your loved one a burial at sea, if that is the type of funeral you are after.
A naval tradition that goes back centuries, the burial at sea, although rarer these days, is sometimes requested for somebody who has served in the Royal or merchant navy, or has a long and personal association with the sea.
If your loved one asked for a burial at sea, or you feel it is what they would've wanted, we can arrange this. It would usually take the form of a church service, with the interment happening on the following day. It is worth noting that:
- A burial at sea will be dependent upon weather conditions
- There will be a limited number allowed to attend the interment ceremony
- It is a specialist procedure, with both legal and practical complexities.
