Sea Burial Services
for Fayetteville Families
Honoring those who served — and those they loved. We provide dignified ocean ash scattering for Fayetteville and the Fort Liberty community, with a free shipping kit delivered straight to your door.
Proudly Serving the Fayetteville Community
Fayetteville is home to one of the largest military communities in the United States. For generations, service members stationed at Fort Liberty have forged a bond with duty, honor, and tradition. Ocean ash scattering carries forward that sense of ceremony — a final tribute conducted with the care and respect your family deserves.
Located approximately 2 hours from Carolina Beach, Fayetteville families can choose between our unattended service with a free shipping kit or an attended ceremony where up to 6 guests join the captain aboard the vessel. Either way, we handle every detail so you can focus on honoring your loved one.

A Tradition That Runs Deep
The connection between military service and the sea stretches back centuries. Burial at sea has long been one of the most honored traditions in the armed forces, symbolizing a return to the vast waters that have carried service members across the globe. For Fayetteville's military families, ocean ash scattering offers a way to carry that tradition forward with grace and simplicity.
Whether your loved one spent a career at Fort Liberty, deployed from North Carolina's coast, or simply found peace near the water, this service provides a lasting tribute that feels right. Our USPS shipping kit makes it easy — no travel required, no complicated logistics, just a dignified ceremony at sea.
We also serve families in nearby Raleigh, Jacksonville, Wilmington, and throughout southeastern North Carolina.
Sea Burial Questions for Fayetteville Families
Do you offer any military accommodations for sea burials?
While our service is the same for all families, many military families find deep meaning in ocean scattering. The sea has a long tradition in military honors, and we treat every ceremony with the dignity and respect that service members and their families deserve.
How far is Fayetteville from the scattering location?
Carolina Beach is roughly 2 hours from Fayetteville by car. For families who prefer not to make the drive, our unattended service handles everything — just ship the remains using our free kit and we take care of the rest.
What does the $400 unattended service include?
The unattended scattering includes a free USPS shipping kit sent to your Fayetteville address, a captain-led ceremony with fresh flowers, GPS coordinates, an official Certificate of Sea Burial, and EPA notification filing. No hidden costs.
Can my family be present for the scattering?
Absolutely. Our attended ceremony accommodates up to 6 guests aboard the vessel departing from Carolina Beach. Many Fayetteville families choose to make the 2-hour trip for this meaningful experience.
How do I ship cremated remains safely?
We provide a complimentary USPS Priority Mail Express kit with all required packaging materials and prepaid labels. USPS is the only carrier authorized to ship cremated remains in the United States. Simply pack the kit and drop it at any Fayetteville post office.
