Oceans of Love is an eco-friendly service that peacefully lays ashes at sea. We are a family-owned and operated business in Southern California and all our services are handled with love and respect.

The ocean is a beautiful and natural resting place to return remains back to nature.

We have found the relationship with the sea helps bring closure and assists in the healing process for the loved ones left behind.

Burials at sea are also an environmentally safe option that do not involve the use of embalming chemicals or caskets. The natural process of the ocean helps break down the ashes and return them to the earth gently and sustainably.
