Seattle Sea Burial
Puget Sound: A Final Resting Place
For those who were born in the Northwest or those who have adopted this area as home, a lifetime of thrills and natural beauty afforded by living by Puget Sound could be followed by a respectful scattering of ashes in a special kind of sea burial.
As a boat captain, one of the tasks I have most appreciated over the last 33 years has been to help families inter the ashes of their departed loved ones into Puget Sound.
For those of us who live in the Northwest, the Salish Sea is a part of what makes this such an incredible place. We see the grandeur of the Olympic Mountains, Mount Baker and Mount Rainier from the water, and share that view with the abundant sea life that includes whales, eagles, seals, salmon and countless others.
Watching the sunrises, the sunsets, the storms, the islands, and the different kinds of boat traffic have given us a treasure of beautiful memories.
Many of us have spent some of our best hours of life on this water with friends and family, sailing, cruising, fishing, diving or just enjoying it all from the beach.
We can take as many as six passengers. We will bring you to the spot of your choice in the middle of Puget Sound and will provide you with the exact coordinates of the final resting place.
Thank you for considering us. It is an honor to be asked.
