Full body burials require specific preparation to ensure that the body or coffin sinks quickly. The body may be wrapped in a sail cloth, shroud or contained in a casket. If in a casket, the casket is prepared by having holes drilled into it so that it will sink upon contact with the water.

The Environmental Protection Agency regulations for full body burials at sea in the USA require that the site of internment be three (3) nautical miles (3.5 mi / 5.6 km) from land and at a depth of at least 600 feet (180 m).

These private companies provide full body burial at sea services.
