Ash Scattering at Sea Recommendations

Excellent experience. They made a difficult time very nice and smooth. Thank you for everything.

Crew was awesome! Ceremony was moving. George was attentive and patient. He is an excellent communicator, great face of the company, he is a keeper!

San Diego Burial at Sea is a wonderful experience that was respectful, thoughtful and full of grace and elegance. Everyone was at peace and felt love all around. The day was picture perfect and the weather was slightly breezy not to cold or hot. Captain Liz and our Host Angie were very accommodating to our needs. Thank you for a memorable moment in time to say good-bye to our beloved friend, mentor, and my husband. I really recommend San Diego Burial at Sea.

The San Diego Burial at Sea is a professionally run business. The Captain Liz and Attendant Amiee are a dynamic duel. They were in sync to the letter with the entire preparation of the scenic and detailed oriented boat trip. They provided wonderful suggestions and were very open and receptive to the families input. Each chain of events were strategically formed from the boat ride to poem selection, photos, ash scatterings and so much more. The moto was to ensure a pleasurable experience during a difficult time. Mission accomplished.

I found this organization online and couldn't have been happier with the entire experience, from start to finish.

When calling to get detailed information, our first contact was with Tawanna. She was so personable, understanding and wanting to help in any and every way she could. This held true with George, who also worked in the office. Actually, this mannerism followed suit with every person we dealt with.

The yacht we were given was beautiful, well-appointed and just perfect for our small gathering of four.

Our host, Mo, was lovely and very attentive to our every need. She told us from the start, she would be there for us as much or as little as we wanted. We opted for "as much" and appreciated all the help she offered us.

Also, a big shout out to Captain Liz. She maneuvered the boat with ease. The way she was able to circle around the ashes after they were scattered gave us time to reflect and realize the finality. She went past the seals and pelicans and stopped for a bit. We watched them sunning and playing on the docks in the bay. That lightened our spirits and gave a sense of one with nature. Such a beautiful sight.

All the people involved made this experience the best that could ever have been expected.

I highly recommend San Diego Burial at Sea. This review comes 2 years late but it's taken a while for me to fully process the loss of my sister. That said, the actual planning and scattering ceremony was lovely and comforting to all of the guests in attendance.

George and Tawanna were so helpful and kind in holding my hand every step of the way through this difficult process, right down to referrals for eco-friendly flowers and leis. My nephew became seriously ill before the ceremony and George rescheduled the ceremony at the last minute without any additional costs. He helped me select the appropriate-sized boat that could accommodate our friends and family, and most appropriate for the water conditions off La Jolla. The boat was very nice.

The Crew were wonderful and helped with the preparation of the scattering. We scattered both my sister and brother-in-law on a perfect day off Windansea. Everyone commented on how much they felt at peace with this beautiful ceremony which would not have been possible without the incredible kindness and efficiency demonstrated by the entire team at San Diego Burial at Sea. Even 2 years later I experience a feeling of peace when I remember that difficult but beautiful day.

We had a wonderful experience with San Diego Burial at Sea. We were treated with kindness and sensitivity throughout. Our boat was beautiful and comfortable. Crew was very attentive. Price was very reasonable for the outstanding service. Communication was excellent. All of these important elements were there.

The team at Burial at Sea helped us celebrate our son's life in a respectful, beautiful way. The team was professional and showed us great care and compassion.

What a beautiful experience it was scattering my mom's ashes at sea. The crew was wonderful and helped to flow things a long but didnt pressure us on time. Definately recommend this company to anyone looking for a burial at sea.

Thank you for helping us make such wonderful memories from a painful time. Everyone was so kind and respectful, from Tawana at booking, George patiently answering my many questions, Captain Liz and First Mate/Host Aimee guiding us through our many emotions of the day. We went from sobbing to belly laughs and those are the memories we will cherish. Thank you all so very much❤️
