Website design & production.
Richard Zampella designed and produced the South Shore Sea Burials website through TransMultimedia Inc.
The project brings together documentary storytelling, maritime photography and a restrained visual system intended to present burial-at-sea services with clarity and dignity.
Zampella is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a 96B Intelligence Analyst and retired at the rank of Staff Sergeant. He completed basic training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, was stationed at the U.S. Army Intelligence Center & School at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and later served on the General Staff (G2) in Somerset, New Jersey. He is also a former commander of the 50th Armored Division Color Guard, which performed military funeral honors throughout New Jersey from 1983 through 2000. His decorations include three awards of the Army Achievement Medal (two oak leaf clusters), the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal (ARCAM), the National Defense Service Medal, and the NCO Professional Development Ribbon. That experience informed the treatment of veterans, military honors and ceremonial traditions throughout this website.

Documentary approach.
Zampella’s work as a documentary editor and producer has centered on history, archival material and personal testimony. That same approach shaped the presentation of South Shore Sea Burials.
Photographs, firsthand accounts and practical information are allowed to carry the story, giving families a clear understanding of the service without turning a sensitive subject into conventional advertising.
