Buried at Sea

Burial at Sea, another type of ceremony for honoring the deceased is the burial at sea (also called the "at sea disposition") performed on a U.S. Navy vessel. According to the Naval History and Heritage Command, the tradition of burial at sea is one that dates back to ancient times and has been a practice for as long as people have gone to sea. The body was sewn into a weighted sailcloth and in very old custom, the last stitch was taken through the nose of the deceased. The body was then sent over the side, usually with an appropriate religious ceremony. During World War I, many burials at sea took place when naval transporters operated at sea ferrying troops. Being buried at sea the soldier or seaman was accounted for and was not listed as missing in action. The Suresnes Memorial listed the names on the "Tablets of the Missing in Action and Buried at Sea."
