Located in Santa Cruz County, this family-owned business provides meaningful ocean memorials, specializing in ash scatterings and full-body Blue Burials at sea. With a focus on sustainability and compassion, each service offers families a natural and peaceful way to say goodbye—returning their loved one to the ocean in an environmentally responsible way.
