Meet The Owner

Capt. David Morin A Burial at Sea Maritime Funeral Services is owned by Captain David Morin.

Captain Morin has over 40 years of experience on Southern New England waters and is both a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Captain and a qualified Coxswain in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Each year Captain Morin volunteers over a thousand hours assisting the U.S. Coast Guard in many capacities -- Harbor Patrols, Stellwagen Marine Preserve data collection for whale activities, monitoring commercial fishing activities, vessel safety checks, etc.  The private yacht is fully equipped with extensive safety equipment and is a U.S. Coast Guard Operational Facility participating in official Search and Rescue activities, as needed. The yacht has far more safety equipment than is required for charter boats.

Captain Morin was first introduced to burials at sea by his father who had arranged for his own cremation and scattering at sea by one of the organizations that perform thousands of burials each year. It was quite by accident that Captain Morin discovered that the marketing message that encouraged his father to choose the organization was quite different than the services that were actually delivered. He arranged a much more respectful individual burial at sea service for his mother several years later.

Since that time, Captain Morin has provided private maritime funeral services for Coast Guard members and others who had difficulty finding burial at sea services in the Massachusetts and Rhode Island area. It was from these personal experiences that A Burial At Sea was created.


Dear Captain Morin,
I would like to thank you for the very nice certificate which I received in the mail late last week regarding the disbursement of my father's ashes. The certificate is a distinguished keepsake of our memorial service on October 7th. Speaking of our service, I am attaching a few photos which you might find of interest. One that I particularly like is of your "first mate." Please give her my best regards. Thank you both, again, for taking care of the service for us with such sensitivity and -- in our case -- flexibility!                   — Lucille C.
