Scattering ashes at sea in recent years has become very mainstream; thousands chose burial at sea for their loved ones. This has evolved in part because the rate of cremation has doubled in the United States in the past 15 years. In 2014, nearly one in two Americans (46.7 percent) selected cremation as an alternative to burial. This compares to only about one in four people (24.8 percent) who chose cremation in 1999. These findings come from the Cremation Statistics Annual Report produced by CANA, the preeminent source on cremation data for the United States and Canada.
