Viewing From Shore Memorial Services
Maritime Burials Introduces the Viewing From Shore Memorial Service, a distinctive offering that allows families and friends to gather along the picturesque coastline of San Diego to observe the sea burial of their loved one from the shore.
This service provides a meaningful and accessible way for those who wish to commemorate their departed while remaining on land, combining a traditional memorial’s solemnity with the ocean’s natural beauty.
