Funeral? Cremation? Boat storage? My wife's ready to just dump me overboard if I give up the ghost... ha ha ha If you're not too sentimental, and you're 3 miles offshore, and the body is weighed to sink to the bottom, you're good to go, legally. Although, you might need to come into port to properly register the death (maybe?) before the burial at sea. There is just one small form to fill out for burial at sea.

Ok... maybe this is too morbid and grim. I guess we're not just so sensitive about dying or having funerals. We joke about her just kicking me off the stern when my time's up. Or... possibly having me stuffed and set up in the salon to remind her of her marital vows... ha ha ha!
