A burial at sea is a form of funeral where the body of the deceased is disposed of at sea. May involve burning the corpse to ashes and then scattering them to the wind, or just dumping a weighted coffin off the side of a boat. Often an exception to It Always Rains at Funerals, though you may get some high waves anyway. These were very common in Real Life back when sea voyages were long. If it's two weeks before the next port, you do not want to lug the body around. They still occur on occasion, but nowadays it's most commonly a last request in the will of an old sailor. In science fiction, the equivalent to burial at sea... IN SPACE! has its own trope, Burial in Space. A Viking Funeral is a subtrope with an Incendiary Exponent. Not to be confused with the two-part Downloadable Content for BioShock Infinite. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. Examples |

In the Alice Isn't Dead episode "The Factory by the Sea," the Character Narrator witnesses the strange, Lonely Funeral of Praxis Industries employee Jack, on a jetty outside the Nightmarish Factory where he works. She helps him, still living, into his coffin, and pushes it off the jetty as though it were a boat. Then he shuts the lid on himself, and she watches it float away. | |

James Bond: In You Only Live Twice, Commander James Bond is buried at sea after being ambushed and killed in Hong Kong. Of course, what really happened was that MI6 faked his death for SPECTRE's benefit, and his coffin, complete with breath mask and air tank, is picked up by a submarine. The trope becomes a Bond One-Liner when the villain of The Spy Who Loved Me blows up a helicopter carrying two scientists who have outlived their usefulness, sending it crashing into the ocean. The villain then cancels their payment and has a message sent to their next of kin about the "tragic accident" and the fact that "The funeral was at sea." |

In The Purple Cloud, the protagonist is on a polar expedition when almost all human and animal life besides himself is killed by the titular Fog of Doom. He returns from the North Pole to the ship Boreal to find the twelve remaining crew members dead. For many months he keeps their bodies aboard the ship, where the cold preserves them, but once he gets far enough south that they start to rot, he throws them overboard. | |

An odd variation occurs in an early episode of NCIS—when a sailor on a submarine commits suicide, his body is originally stored in a body bag in the sub's freezer. Gibbs, however, realizes that this is a Thanatos Gambit to poison the crew with a cold-activated sarin gas capsule, so the sailor's body is immediately put into a torpedo tube and jettisoned. Season 17 has an ex-Navy named Joe Smith cajole Gibbs's team to prove that he was in the USS Arizona during the Pearl Harbor attacks so that once he died, he would be buried in the sunken battleship. However, since he was a minor at that time, he snuck in using his older brother's papers, so there was no real proof that he was on board Arizona when the Japanese attacked aside from stories of how it felt like during the attack and repeatedly showing his scarred arm. The team aside from Gibbs was convinced he was relating using constructed memories, possibly from his brother whose name he used to get onboard, or was too scarred by the war that he did not know what was real from fiction anymore. He died being unable to prove the veracity of his claims, however his autopsy showed that shards of metal were lodged inside the arm, and they were able to prove that these did come from Arizona, putting him in the ship at the time of the attack. He got his wish, and was laid to rest beside his brothers-in-arms at sea. |

Wooden Overcoats: In "Georgina and the Waves," the lighthouse keeper challenges both Rudyard and Eric to conduct a funeral for a dead seagull. Eric chooses this option. In "Putting the Funn in Funerals," Rudyard and Antigone come up with the idea for Georgie to scatter her Nana's ashes at sea, since she spent so much of her life travelling. The episode ends with the trio soaring over the ocean in a hot air balloon, and Georgie spreading the ashes, hoping the winds will carry them to the far reaches of the globe. |

Weaponized in Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya. After Byakuren is killed, her younger brother Cochrane requests that her coffin be sunk to bottom of the ocean. And since their Swap Teleportation powers continue to function even after her death, this means that a young boy who has been driven practically feral out of grief has access to what is essentially a One-Hit Kill (though the one person he actually does manage to use it on is tough enough to survive the water pressure and return to the surface without drowning). The coffin is later retrieved following the final battle so she can be given a more proper burial. | |

Many seamen in Horatio Hornblower die during battles at sea, and some funerals are shown, all Wooden Ships and Iron Men style. In "The Even Chance", a man from Hornblower's division dies after a cannonball tore off his leg. Hornblower's concern for him (and for his men during the funeral) marks the point where his men start to respect him. In "The Examination for Lieutenant", Finch who previously saved Hornblower's life dies and has a funeral. They also sell his stuff in order to gain money to support his widow. The dead man's only friend ended up buying everything for a large sum of money (for a workaday sailor) and immediately threw it all overboard as a death offering. At the beginning of "Retribution", quite a few men who died during a battle with Spaniards are prepared to be buried at sea, and boatswain Matthews is shown to be particularly caring about giving them a decent send-off. |

Kona Coast: The film is set in Hawaii, and Charlie, an old fisherman, asks for and after he dies gets "a real Hawaiian funeral." This apparently entails the deceased being sent out to sea in a canoe while the mourners throw leis. | |

In Forever (2014) this is Henry's fate after he's shot by the captain of the Empress of Africa because he refused to step aside and let an African man be murdered. In "Dead Men Tell Long Tales" the fact that this trope didn't happen to an African captive is Henry's first clue that something major happened on the ship after his own (first) death; it turns out the key to the shackles and cell door Henry had stolen to free the Africans had fallen from his dead hand within the reach of the African man he'd told he would give it to, and they had successfully risen up against the slavers and taken control of the ship. The African man's body was thus placed in a coffin with great respect, but the coffin was still aboard when the ship sank, to be rediscovered two hundred years later. | |

Frankie (Lenny's deceased older brother) from Shark Tale is actually given this type of funeral after being crushed to death by a falling anchor (which prompts Oscar to think that he killed Frankie, and not the anchor), where his body is tossed overboard the deck of the shipwrecked RMS Titanic (the sharks' lair) and floats to the surface belly-up. | |

Ghosts of the Titanic: When the crew of the Mackay-Bennett was collecting the bodies of the people who drowned when the Titanic sunk, any bodies that lacked anything to identify them, or were far too damaged/rotted to be identifiable, were loaded into coffins which, at the end of each day, were read their final rights and dumped into the dea. | |
