Ron,

For centuries men's bodies have been "Consigned to the deep to wait the sure and certain ressurection". Merchant Mariners and Military Men from the world round who have died at sea have been interred in this manner. That is surely a grave where ever these bodies have come to rest.

Tradition has held that all men and women who take their living on the seas or in the service of their countries who die at sea unfound lie in a sailor's grave.

The annual funeral services for lost fisherman along the east coast for years have held these beliefs. I know it's a tradition but then what are most religious beliefs but traditions.
