What to expect in Marina Del Rey

Your captain meets your group at the dock, takes you to the scattering spot, and gives you time for words, music, flowers or silence. Afterward, the captain records the coordinates of the scattering so your family always knows where it took place. Biodegradable urns and flowers can be ordered from our memorial store and delivered before your service.

Scattering rules in Marina Del Rey

Captain license
Not needed when the family scatters
Cremated Remains Disposer (CRD) registration
Inside Marina Del Rey waters
Allowed with conditions
Marina del Rey harbor (main channel); Santa Monica Bay / Pacific Ocean
Ocean
3+ nautical miles from land
Federal rule. Report to the EPA within 30 days.
The marina channels are far too narrow to be 500 yards from shore, so in practice you cannot scatter inside the marina; go out into Santa Monica Bay. Santa Monica Bay is treated as ocean waters, so follow the EPA rule of 3 nm from land. Marina del Rey is unincorporated LA County, so file with LA County DPH Vital Records.
