Ceremonies at Sea
A private maritime setting for Hindu, Sikh and family traditions, with the time and space needed for prayer and participation.
Time and space for the ceremony to unfold.
South Shore Sea Burials has extensive experience working with Hindu and Sikh families. Services can be arranged around prayer, family participation, flowers, music and the immersion or scattering of cremated remains on ocean waters.
Families often need to assemble relatives quickly. When vessel availability and weather permit, South Shore Sea Burials can often arrange an attended service on short notice.
Guests should dress comfortably and bring an extra sweater or jacket. Flat rubber-soled shoes or sneakers are recommended aboard the vessel. Natural flowers and flower petals may accompany the ceremony when they are readily biodegradable.
Antyeshti and family traditions.
Some families choose to carry cremated remains to India for immersion in the Ganga. Others choose ocean water in the United States. South Shore Sea Burials provides a private maritime setting where families can observe their own customs with time, dignity and direct access to the water.
Music, food and non-alcoholic beverages may be brought aboard by arrangement. Contact Captain Clinton at 516-369-0032 to discuss timing, vessel size and ceremonial needs.
