Santa Clara, California

Burial or Cremation?  If you are going to be buried, why not consider being buried at sea? Full-body burials may include a casket or sail-cloth wrap, and must meet specific geographical requirements: (1) at least 3 nm from the shoreline and (2) at least 600 m in depth. Rarely are burials at sea commemorated with memorials like the one below, which reads "Passed away June 20, 1992 & was Buried at Sea." However, a plaque may be attached to a memorial wall in a cemetery or church. Santa Ana Cemetery. [2020]
