Burial At Sea

Honor your loved one with a deeply meaningful burial at sea Honolulu ceremony aboard a traditional outrigger canoe in Waikīkī's crystal-clear waters. This moving 1-hour service lets families scatter ashes in the open ocean beneath Diamond Head's iconic silhouette, following authentic Waikīkī Beachboy traditions that culminate with "the last wave" in tribute to the deceased.

Your ceremony begins with a peaceful paddle into the Pacific aboard an outrigger canoe with our professional crew. Families can personalize their tribute—say a prayer, sing a song, or reflect in quiet contemplation as you release your loved one's ashes into the ocean. The service honors Hawaiian cultural traditions while providing a serene setting for this final farewell, with Diamond Head crater's dramatic backdrop creating a naturally beautiful memorial.

After the scattering ceremony, the experience concludes with the symbolic "last wave" as participants surf back to shore—a cherished Waikīkī Beachboy tradition celebrating the deceased's connection to the ocean. Our professional photographer captures these precious moments, with images processed and delivered within 1-2 days. The intimate nature of this burial at sea Honolulu experience accommodates up to 6 people total, ensuring privacy and personal attention during this sacred ceremony.

This memorial service from $450 for up to 6 people includes the outrigger canoe, professional crew, and photography services. Participants ages 5 and older can join this meaningful experience, meeting at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Kalākaua Avenue. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for getting wet, and feel free to bring flowers or leis to enhance your ceremony. We require 48-hour advance notice for cancellations, and safety protocols may necessitate rescheduling during periods of large surf or unpredictable ocean conditions to ensure participant well-being.
