Your ceremony guests will board Paradiso at our dock in Newport Harbor and we will cruise out of the harbor to a serene location in the ocean. There the Captain will do a brief reading. The family and guests may say anything they wish to include to honor your loved one. Then the ashes will be scattered into the ocean and guests will lay their flowers on the water. After the ceremony we will head back to the harbor for refreshments. Each guest will receive a card with the exact longitude and latitude of where their loved one was scattered. A rose for each guest and refreshments (coffee, tea and soft drinks) are included. The whole service lasts approximately two hours, but an option for cruise extension is available.

Customer Testimonial:

“The burial at sea was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anything nicer. This was an incredible first experience with a burial at sea.  The captain was amazing. He even turned the yacht around so that we could take another peek at the cute sea lions! He was so sweet to have done that for us. It was totally unexpected and much appreciated. I was so impressed with the service. I had never even considered cremation until now, my opinion has definitely changed. Thank you.  It is now what I desire.  Some of our guests expressed the same feeling after. Thanks again to you [Vanessa, Charter Consultant] and to the sweetest captain at sea!”  - Michelle
