Veterans Burial at Sea
Veterans burial at sea on San Diego Bay aboard JADA, with the federal protocol observed and the family at the center of the ceremony.
Veterans burial at sea aboard JADA follows the federal protocol — flag, honors, the formal committal — adapted to a private vessel rather than a Navy ship. Families can request burial of cremated remains or full-body burial; the procedures and required documentation differ for each.
The crew is experienced with the ceremony and we coordinate with families on timing, readings, and any military honors that will be observed by friends and family aboard. JADA herself was built in 1938 and has carried this work for many years; she is a fitting setting.
The full veterans-burial page covers the VA paperwork, the ceremony, and the typical timeline.
