Ash Scattering at Sea Recommendations

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.Rebecca and Pamela

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❤️

George, Tawanna, Jody, Joey and Holly provided professional, empathetic, and excellent service for my wife's Ash Scattering at Sea and everything went perfectly. They were upfront with pricing and what they do and don't do. I would highly recommend this company if you are ever unfortunate enough to need or want this kind of service. They help you from start to finish and have great ideas and resources for your service. There wasn't a single thing I could recommend to be improved upon.The Aolani (48 person catamaran) I rented through this company was beautiful and luxurious and my guests were very pleased and impressed. A beautiful boat to celebrate a beautiful life. I would definitely rent this boat again for a happier occasion.

Can't say enough about how pleasant our day was, the crew, food, and was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better send off for our mom.

Our experience from start to finish was great! George was so kind and helpful. I was amazed at the wonderful customer service. Captain Liz and Angie were excellent and provided a lovely memory for our family. I would highly recommend San Diego Burial at the Sea.

Exceptional service with caring, experienced professionals - from first phone call through follow-up - the staff and crew helped with every aspect to make it a respectful and memorable day for our family. The boat was beautifully outfitted and very comfortable, even better than expected. Smooth sailing all the way! Thank you, George, Tawanna, Mo and Capt. Liz for helping us honor our father in this special way.
