Description
The ocean holds a special meaning for many people—for ardent fishermen, for those who may have spent a military career at sea, or even for those who simply treasured wonderful memories of beach vacations with family and friends.
A burial at sea stands as the perfect way to reflect the lives and loves of individuals who felt a special connection with oceans and seashores. Rest Ashured is here to make the process as smooth as possible.
