Was ist eine Seebestattung?

Burial at sea is a special and nature-oriented way of farewell, during which the ashes of a deceased person are handed over to the sea. It is ideal for people who have had a deep connection to water and want a return to the cycle of nature. During a burial at sea, the ash is released into the water in a biodegradable urn so that it dissolves naturally and becomes part of the environment. This creates a unique place of remembrance for the relatives, without the obligation to care for the grave. The exact location of the burial is often recorded and can be visited later by survivors.

The Ceremony on Board

The Farewell Ceremony Usually Takes Place on a Shipping Company Ship. At the burial position, the flag is set at half mast and the urn is solemnly released into the water. Relatives often have the option of adding flowers or painted stones to the water. After the Burial, the Ship Turns Around the Burial Site for a Few Laps Before Starting the Return Journey On request, the return journey can be arranged in convivial get-togethers over coffee and cake.

Implementation in Case of Bad Weather

The Burial at Sea is only carried out in safe weather conditions. The weather is closely monitored in advance to ensure a dignified and safe ceremony.

Participation in the burial at sea is voluntary. Relatives can decide for themselves whether they want to attend the ceremony. The wishes of the deceased are always respected and the burial can also take place without the family being present.

Remembrance and Remembrance of the Deceased

After the Burial at Sea, the Survivors receive a card with the exact coordinates of the Burial Place. Many families later use this place for memorial trips or to scatter flowers. Some shipping companies also offer regular memorial trips, during which burial sites can be visited.

The Benefits of a Sea Burial

Burial at sea offers many advantages:

  • Nature-loving farewell: Burial in the Sea is considered particularly peaceful and sublime — ideal for people who felt connected to nature and water.
  • Freedom of care: Since there is no traditional grave, there is no obligation to care, which relieves relatives.
  • Individual ceremony: The farewell party can be personalized and individual — whether with flowers, music or personal words.

Eco-friendly: The urns used are completely biodegradable and dissolve in water, making this form of burial particularly environmentally friendly.

Wir haben unseren Lieben in guten Händen gewusst. Abschied fällt immer schwer, aber der Weg dorthin wurde uns durch das Team von Memovida erleichtert.
Danke und vor allem einen großen Dank and Frau Vossel.

Nach dem unerwarteten Tod meiner Frau habe ich einige Bestatter kontaktiert um eine Preisvorstellung zu haben,was auf mich zukommt. Die Preise waren eigentlich unverschämt. Nach einiger Zeit bin ich auf ihr Unternehmen gestoßen. Ich kann nur sagen, hier stimmte alles vom Anfang bis zum Ende der Betreuung durch Frau Haan. Auch die Beisetzung am Wunschort meiner Frau wurde möglich gemacht. Nochmals Danke an Frau Haan für ihre einfühlsamen Worte die sie bei unserem Gespräch fand.
Ein letzter Satz zu ihren Preisen,einfach unschlagbar. Ich kann dieses Unternehmen mit ruhigem Gewissen allen nur empfehlen, die in der nächsten Zeit auch vor diesem schweren Schritt stehen.

Dieses Bestattungsinstitut ist menschlich und absolut empfehlenswert.
In der schwersten Situation stehen sie einem mit Rat und Tat zur Seite ohne dabei an Profit zu denken!
Für die Mitarbeiter steht der Mensch an erster Stelle und sie geben acht darauf alles so zu verwirklichen wie man es sich vorstellt.
Ich danke euch ganz besonders Frau Vossel für diese tolle Unterstützung in dieser schweren Zeit.
Ich kann Memovida mit ganzer Überzeugung weiterempfehlen!
Bleibt wie ihr seit, die Welt braucht mehr Menschen wie ihr es seid!

I recently suffered the loss of my partner. Navigating many levels of German bureaucracy as a non native speaker was challenging at best. I was therefore very concerned about the funeral process, but Christina and her team were amazing. They listen to your ideas, offer helpful suggestions, all pricing and steps are completely transparent, they are happy to conduct business in English if necessary, and I absolutely could not recommend them more.

Wir sind äußerst zufrieden mit dem Service, den wir von Memovida erhalten haben. Herr Kaiser und sein Team haben uns von Anfang bis zum Ende hervorragend betreut, waren jederzeit für unsere Fragen da und haben sämtliche Behördenwege sowie alle organisatorischen Aufgaben zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit abgewickelt. Besonders schätzen wir, dass uns alle bürokratischen Schritte abgenommen wurden. Ich kann dieses Bestattungsunternehmen uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen für alle, die in dieser schweren Zeit eine zuverlässige und fürsorgliche Betreuung benötigen. Vielen Dank an das Memovida Team.

Am Freitag letzte Woche ist meine Mama nun ihren letzten Weg gegangen. Wir haben mit Memovida liebe Menschen gefunden, die uns einfühlsam mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung standen, etwas unkonventionell aber die beste Entscheidung die wir treffen konnten. Von Anfang bis Ende wurden wir super betreut, dass ich Zeit hatte um meine Mama zu trauern. Vielen Dank an Frau Haan für die liebevollen Gespräche am Telefon und an alle anderen die ihr allerbestes gegeben haben.

Jeanett M.

Memovida's service was top-notch: attentive,
knowledgeable and responsive and advises foreign customers on
German customs. The employees were quickly available
and I've received an answer to all my questions.
Special thanks to Mr. Manuel Kaiser.

Pertti H.

Thank you Mrs. Haan, I was unable to arrange for my beloved husband's funeral elsewhere. What all that happens to you and what you have to manage. Suddenly you're all alone but thanks to Mrs. Haan, I've overcome the hardest time of my life. The funeral service was very emotional and thanks also for The Funeral Speaker. My laundering after the resting place was also
fulfilled. You can't thank them enough as sensitively as they were for me during this difficult time.
Much love to you.
Kind regards

Ursula Z.

In a difficult phase for me, your company was extremely committed,
absolute reliability as well as competent execution and exact compliance with all
The promises made provide me with indispensable support and help.
In particular, dear Mrs. Lübbert, I would like to thank you for your empathy, the sensitive
cordiality, understanding of every detail and everything you've done for me and
have implemented the greatest thanks and express the highest appreciation.
They were simply always there!
Your company will be a great success with genuine, consistent customer orientation
You can be sure of that.

Where can sea burials be carried out near Munich?

Since sea burials in Germany may only take place on the open sea and at least 3 nautical miles away from the coast, burial at sea directly in Munich or the surrounding area is not possible. The next options for a sea burial are the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. But sea burials can also be carried out on request in the Mediterranean or the Atlantic.

Burial in the Baltic Sea (e.g. from Rostock or Warnemünde)

The Baltic Sea is a popular region for sea burials and is easily accessible from Munich. In ports such as Rostock or Warnemünde, specialized shipping companies offer the opportunity to hold silent funerals or ceremonies in the presence of the family.

  • Usedom sea burial
  • Albrecht sea burial
  • Sea Burial Eagle
  • Malte Fischer Sea Funeral Service
  • Lake Burial High Dune

Burial at Sea in the North Sea (e.g. from Cuxhaven or Büsum)

The North Sea, with its defined burial areas from Cuxhaven or Büsum, symbolizes freedom and space for many people, which makes it a suitable place for final rest. Many shipping companies also offer accompanied and silent funerals here.

  • North Sea burial
  • Nordlicht shipping company
  • Malte Fischer Sea Funeral Service

Costs of a Burial at Sea

The cost of a funeral at sea varies depending on the provider and the chosen ceremony. The total costs consist of the urn, the transfer of the ashes, the burial of the ship and the farewell ceremony:

  • Silent Burial (Without Relatives): Starting at around 150€.
  • Accompanied funeral (with relatives): from around 1,500€ to 3,000€, depending on the ship and number of guests. The costs may be higher for larger ceremonies.

In addition, there are the regular funeral costs for a cremation, which are around 2,000-4,000 euros. Due to the omission of grave costs, sea burial remains the cheapest type of burial.

The Ceremony on Board

The Farewell Ceremony Usually Takes Place on a Shipping Company Ship. At the burial position, the flag is set at half mast and the urn is solemnly released into the water. Relatives often have the option of adding flowers or painted stones to the water. After the Burial, the Ship Turns Around the Burial Site for a Few Laps Before Starting the Return Journey On request, the return journey can be arranged in convivial get-togethers over coffee and cake.

Implementation in Case of Bad Weather

The Burial at Sea is only carried out in safe weather conditions. The weather is closely monitored in advance to ensure a dignified and safe ceremony.

Participation in the burial at sea is voluntary. Relatives can decide for themselves whether they want to attend the ceremony. The wishes of the deceased are always respected and the burial can also take place without the family being present.

Remembrance and Remembrance of the Deceased

After the Burial at Sea, the Survivors receive a card with the exact coordinates of the Burial Place. Many families later use this place for memorial trips or to scatter flowers. Some shipping companies also offer regular memorial trips, during which burial sites can be visited.

We help you plan a sea burial

Our team will guide you through every step of organizing a funeral at sea. We support you with planning and take care of all necessary formalities and coordination with the respective shipping company. Together, we will create a dignified and nature-loving farewell — in harmony with nature.

For all those who want a sea burial in the Mediterranean, we also offer this option through our partners in Saint Tropez and Port d'Andratx. If desired, Farewells can be arranged in the warmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Let us arrange a dignified farewell together — in harmony with the wishes of the deceased and nature.

Legal basis & regulations for sea burials

Burial at sea in Germany is subject to certain legal requirements that regulate the process and implementation. These rules ensure that burial is carried out in accordance with environmental standards and the personal wishes of the deceased and their loved ones.

Who is allowed to carry out a sea burial?

In Germany, sea burials may only be carried out by specialized funeral homes in cooperation with approved shipping companies. These companies have the necessary permits and experience to ensure a dignified and legally compliant burial.

An important point is that burial at sea can only take place after prior cremation. The deceased's ashes are handed over in a special, water-soluble urn, which biodecomposes in water. Relatives can attend the ceremony or choose a silent burial without accompaniment.

Which permits are required?

Before a sea burial can be carried out, a number of official permits are required:

  • Declaration of intent by the deceased: As a rule, burial at sea may only take place if the deceased has expressed his express wish during his lifetime. If there is no written explanation, the next of kin can also confirm this request.
  • funeral permit: The competent cemetery authority or public order office must grant permission for the burial at sea.
  • death certificate: The death certificate is required to complete the formalities for cremation and subsequent burial at sea.
  • Release of the urn by the crematorium: The crematorium issues a permit to transfer the ashes to the funeral service, which organizes the burial at sea.

Are there environmental requirements for sea burials?

Yes, sea burials in Germany are subject to strict environmental requirements so as not to affect marine ecology.

  • Burial places: Burial may only take place in designated areas on the open sea — in Germany at least three nautical miles (approx. 5.5 km) from the coast.
  • Biodegradable urns: Only special urns can be used, which completely dissolve in water so as not to leave any residue.
  • Flowers and gifts: Flowers or other additives that are added to the water during the ceremony must also be biodegradable.
  • No disruption to shipping traffic: The burial must be carried out in such a way that it does not interfere with regular shipping traffic.

These requirements ensure that sea burials are carried out in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way, so that the final resting place at sea remains in harmony with nature.

Support from Memovida

As an experienced funeral home, we assist you with all legal and organizational issues relating to burial at sea. We apply for the necessary permits and coordinate with the relevant authorities so that you do not have to deal with bureaucratic challenges during this difficult time.
