Honoring Lives with Burials at Sea

A peaceful, compassionate farewell aboard the classic wooden schooner Spike Africa. Dedicated to providing a tranquil setting for private ash scatterings and urn releases on ocean waters.

Departing from San Diego, Spike Africa glides beyond Point Loma into coastal waters. We ease the engines to set sail, letting wind and waves envelope your memorial service in natural peace.
