Brings forth the question: Do sailors/troops buried at sea get a headstone somewhere? Thanks mc
I know that some lost USN ships have memorials with those lost listed on them such as the USS Indianapolis Memorial .

Many families of those buried at sea will often have a service and a memorial stone places. Not uncommon, I am told.
I’ll have my ashes buried at sea. It would be honorable if I could have an honor guard , but they don’t do that for you unless you have made the appropriate sacrifices of time or blood in a state of war, or are retired...none of which I am.
So I will be content to have my ashes cast at sea...:)
