In September 2023, the Mallorcan weekly newspaper “Mallorca Daily Bulletin,” aimed at an international audience, published an exclusive article about Nemocean with the translated title “In Harmony with Nature in the Waters around Mallorca.”
In September, an interview with Tobias Hofmann, co-founder of Nemocean, was conducted by Humphrey Carter, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Mallorca Bulletin. The interview covers the background, scope of operations, and unique aspects of Nemocean’s burials at sea along the coast of Mallorca.
The content of the interview can be summarized as follows:
“Honoring the Journey of Life: Nemocean’s Unique Farewell at Sea”
In today’s ever-changing global society, opportunities for unique and meaningful experiences have expanded into every aspect of life, including how we bid farewell to our loved ones. Inspired by a time-honoured tradition practised by generations of sailors in Germany, Nemocean, a pioneering company based in picturesque Mallorca, offers a remarkable way to celebrate a person’s life with a funeral at the tranquil Mediterranean Sea.
A Lifelong Connection to the Sea
Co-founded by Tobias Hofmann, a former naval officer with a deep and lifelong connection to the sea, Nemocean represents a shift in the funeral industry towards more personalized and alternative services. Hofmann, who has lived on the island of Mallorca for over four years, explains that the funeral market is undergoing significant changes, with a growing demand for alternative burial experiences.
Farewell with Grace
Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, and Nemocean understands the importance of providing families with the necessary support during this difficult time. Nemocean’s mission is to create a warm and comforting atmosphere as families set sail off the coast of Mallorca, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and nature.
The goal is to transform what is typically a sombre and grieving event into a gentle and uplifting farewell ceremony that honours the memory of a loved one with grace and dignity. Nemocean’s unique approach offers comfort and assistance to families in navigating the challenging journey of farewell.
Compliance with Laws and Professionalism in Burials at Sea
In 2022, Spanish laws changed to allow burials at sea under certain conditions.
