Burials At Sea

Private Burials and Scattered Ashes at Sea w/NYC Fishing Boat

The waters around New York City mean so much to so many of us. When someone we love is lost, sometimes the best way to honor them is to celebrate their life on the water and spread their ashes in a place that represents their loves and passions.

The Marilyn Jean is a private boat charter service that is here to take you and your loved ones out to see for a private ceremony, where you can spread their ashes and spend time with loved ones. If you are interested in a private boat charter, please use the form to the right and we’ll contact you about dates and times.

About Our Private Ceremonies

The Marilyn Jean has been providing private boat charters for decades, giving people in or visiting New York City the opportunity to be out on the water with friends, loved ones, and more.

We know how to provide a respectful, intimate setting where you can be alone on the waters around New York City, or over near one of the lighthouses, bridges, or other areas of your choice. You and your loved ones can spread the deceased’s ashes yourself, or you can ask our captain to do it for you.

Once completed, we will provide you with what’s known as a “Burial at Sea Certificate” which will have information such as the date of the ashes and the maritime coordinates – the latter of which can be used to visit that same spot in the future any time you and your loved ones would like to visit their place of rest.

Schedule Today – We’ll Do Our Best to Make Ourselves Available

We take guests on the water all throughout the year, yet will do our best to always make time for you if you need a private charter for your burial needs. If you would like to learn more, or you’re looking for prices and scheduling, please use our online form to connect with us and one of our team members will respond as soon as we’re able.
