Attended Burial at Sea & Scattering of Ashes from Carolina Beach NC

Honor your loved one with an attended burial at sea and scattering of ashes aboard the Wild Rover III from Carolina Beach, NC. Captain Dave Tilley and crew provide a dignified, compassionate service where family and friends can gather offshore to say goodbye. We sail 3+ nautical miles out to conduct a personal and memorable burial at sea ceremony, surrounded by the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.

Our attended burial at sea services depart from Carolina Beach Municipal Marina, serving families from Wilmington, Southport, Kure Beach, and surrounding areas. Your family and guests are welcomed aboard the Wild Rover III, a comfortable 52-foot sportfishing vessel featuring air conditioning, restroom, shaded cabin, and seating for up to 6 passengers.

Once offshore beyond 3 nautical miles, we will conduct your scattering of ashes at sea ceremony with care and dignity. You may say words, offer prayers, and gently release ashes into the sea. Captain Dave can also provide the exact GPS coordinates of the ceremony if desired.

We take great pride in helping families honor their loved ones at sea. Whether you want a quiet, private moment or a shared celebration of life, we will ensure a smooth, respectful, and memorable experience for all aboard.
