Burials At Sea




The scattering of a loved one's ashes at sea is a timeless tradition.  The beauty and power, the peace and tranquility of the waters off Waikīkī make it an idyllic final resting place.



After paddling out into the calm waters of Waikīkī aboard one of our outrigger canoes, we will lay your loved one to rest. 

Flowers and lei (you may choose to have them included or you may bring your own) are also placed into the ocean to prepare a beautiful resting place for your loved one.


A blessing will be given after the scattering of the ashes.  The canoe will surf a wave into shore as a way to celebrate and honor the beauty of life.


ALL BURIALS-AT-SEA INCLUDE:
  • Private 1-hour canoe charter (canoe can hold up to 5 guests)
  • Canoe First Captain and Second Captain to ensure guest safety
Note: Waikīkī Beach Services can also provide full floral arrangements, lei, photography, and/or videography.  Please contact us directly for more information and pricing.

If you would like to inquire about a burial-at-sea ceremony, please contact us.

celebrating my dad’s life.”

We understand that the passing of a loved one is difficult and sometimes unexpected.


With the shadow of Diamond Head behind and the horizon in the distance, our hope is that you find solace in the peaceful waters and in the beauty of the surroundings.
