At Alaska Burial Services, we offer a unique and meaningful way to say goodbye to your loved ones through ceremonial ash scatterings and burials at sea. While many Alaska funeral homes focus on traditional funerals and grave burials, we specialize solely in post-cremation services. Our goal is to provide families with an affordable, environmentally conscious alternative that honors their loved ones in Alaska’s beautiful landscapes. Whether you’re looking for a serene ocean burial or a land-based ceremony, we offer personalized memorial options for both local and out-of-state clients.
