Backed by funeral home license FD #2188 and USCG-licensed captains in Point Loma, San Diego, San Diego Burial at Sea has coordinated private ash-scattering ceremonies from Shelter Island since 2007. Ceremonies depart on private yachts—never shared—accommodating 1 to 124 guests, launching from the same Shelter Island marina berths used by Sail Away San Diego for celebratory bay cruises just a few docks down the harbor. Every service includes a California Disposition Permit, GPS coordinates of the scattering location, and a memorial certificate, with remains released at least 500 yards offshore per federal and state regulations. The operation serves Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, and secular families, offering facilitators, funeral directors, or clergy depending on the ceremony format, and coordinates full cremation-through-scattering logistics as a single provider through sister mortuary Funerals Your Way. Families often book anniversary return trips to the exact GPS coordinates, a repeat-charter pattern that relies on the Shelter Island vessel network—where Yachting San Diego maintains the type of stabilized catamaran platform the burial-at-sea service specifies for memorial voyages. The most complex engagements are multi-vessel memorial services combining a primary catamaran for the immediate party with a secondary escort vessel, synchronized military honors, and live-streamed video for relatives attending remotely.
