The Famous Buried at Sea

Though burial at sea is far from being the most common burial practice today, as we have seen, they still take place all over the world. Here is a list of some of the most famous people to have sea burials in the past 40 years:

Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980): his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.

Steve McQueen (1930–1980): was cremated, and his ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.

Vincent Price (1911–1993): his ashes scattered off Point Dume in Malibu, California.

Gene Kelly (1912–1996): cremated ashes scattered in the sea.

John F. Kennedy, Jr (1960–1999): ashes were scattered into the Atlantic Ocean by the U.S. Navy off Martha's Vineyard.

Robin Williams (1951–2014): was cremated the day after his death, and his ashes were scattered in San Francisco Bay.
