Memorials at Sea

A Fitting Farewell

Return to the sea with grace.

For many people, the ocean holds a special meaning — a place of peace, of vastness, of belonging. A memorial ceremony at sea aboard JADA offers a final farewell that honors that connection, with the quiet dignity it deserves.

JADA offers personalized memorial services for the scattering of ashes at sea for both veterans and civilians. Every ceremony is arranged around your family's wishes — your date, your time, your choice of location within San Diego's waters.

Veterans Burials at Sea

We are honored to serve the families of those who served. JADA's crew has experience conducting dignified veterans burials at sea, and will ensure the ceremony reflects the respect and gratitude your loved one has earned. We can coordinate with veterans' organizations and officiant services to provide full honors.
