Dignified Burials at Sea

There is no functional difference. They're synonymous terms. When you are planning a 'burial at sea,' 'ash scattering at sea,' or 'sea burial,' you're planning the same event. Dignified Burials at Sea provides professional ceremonies for scattering cremated remains in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Los Angeles, departing from Marina del Rey.

To complete an Ash Scattering At Sea, California requires a VS-9 permit (Permit for Disposition of Human Remains) acquired from the facility that performed the cremation, or the mortuary you arranged with if cremation was done in California. This permit costs $12 and is obtainable within days. If cremation was done outside California or the United States, Dignified Burials at Sea will obtain the permit for $90.00 with an original death certificate. The permit should accompany the cremated remains when brought to one of their vessels.
