While a burial at sea offers freedom from the constraints of a traditional cemetery, many families still value having a place to remember, reflect, and share memories. At Nemocean, we offer meaningful memorial trips after the burial ceremony, but we also wanted to give families the opportunity to honour their loved one at any time, from anywhere in the world.
Through our partnership with nemojo, we provide an interactive digital memorial that serves as a permanent place of remembrance after a burial at sea.

What is nemojo?
Nemojo is a social and interactive memorial platform that makes it easy to share funeral announcements and allows them to evolve into personalised online memorials through the collaboration of family, friends, and the wider bereaved community. Unlike a traditional obituary, which is published for a limited period and then disappears, Nemojo creates a permanent digital space that people can return to whenever they wish.
Each memorial brings together, in one place, what is often scattered across phone photo galleries, WhatsApp conversations, and social media posts: the story of a life, told through photographs, videos, memories, and messages from those who knew the person best.
Why do Families Choose a Digital Memorial After a Burial at Sea?
Every family has its own reasons, but some of the most common include:
- There is no physical gravesite to visit after a burial at sea.
- Family members may live in different countries.
- Photos, videos, and memories can be collected in one place.
- The memorial remains accessible.
- Friends and relatives can contribute their own tributes and memories over time.
Easy to Create and Share
One of Nemojo’s greatest strengths is its simplicity. No technical skills are required, and creating a memorial page takes only a few minutes during what is often a difficult and emotional time.
The process is straightforward: upload a photo of the deceased, add the funeral details, and the page is ready to share via a simple link. Families can also enrich the memorial with additional content, such as an eulogy, a biography, a personal message from the family, information about a charitable cause, or details of surviving relatives who wish to receive private messages of support.
As family and friends contribute photographs, videos, memories, and condolences, the funeral announcement gradually evolves into a living online memorial that preserves the person’s legacy for years to come.
A Living Gallery of Photos and Videos
The heart of every memorial is its multimedia gallery. Rather than a single black-and-white photo, as you’d find on a printed obituary, Nemojo lets families gather dozens of photos and videos capturing different moments of a person’s life: childhood, family, hobbies, travels, celebrations. Guests at the sea funeral can also upload their photos, so the uplifting experience of the Mediterranean ceremony can be felt by the entire circle of family and friends
This gallery doesn’t freeze on the day of the funeral. Family and friends can keep adding content over time, so the memorial grows and becomes richer rather than remaining a static document that gets filed away and forgotten.
Condolence Messages That Don't Get Lost
Messages of sympathy shared on social media often disappear quickly among other posts and updates. Nemojo provides a dedicated space where condolences, personal stories, and memories can be collected and preserved indefinitely.
For many families, these messages become one of the most valuable parts of the memorial, offering comfort and a lasting record of the impact their loved one had on others.
Why it Matters Especially for Burials at Sea
In a cemetery, the headstone serves a very specific purpose: it’s the physical anchor point of grief, the place people visit to remember. The sea, by its very nature, offers no such fixed point. Once the ceremony is over, there’s no exact location to return to, no address to give someone who wants to pay their respects.
Nemojo becomes the “place” the sea cannot offer: a permanent digital space, accessible from any device at any time, that fulfills the same symbolic role as a headstone, but without the geographic limitations. There’s no need to travel to Mallorca or go anywhere specific to “visit” the memory of someone who’s gone: opening the link is enough.
Nemocean and Nemojo: a Service that Completes Itself
Nemocean specializes in organizing dignified, respectful burials at sea in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands, taking care of every detail of the ceremony. Nemojo complements that experience by adding what the ceremony, by its very nature, cannot offer on its own: a lasting place of remembrance.
Together, the two solutions cover both sides of a farewell: the goodbye, experienced at sea, and the memory, which endures and is shared over time through a digital memorial.
Nemojo for Funeral Homes
Create a Digital Cemetery
As an additional feature, funeral homes can create their own Digital Cemetery: a dedicated online space that brings together all public memorials created for families who choose to share them.
This digital memorial garden can be linked directly from the funeral home’s website, providing a lasting tribute to past clients while offering visitors a place to remember loved ones, leave messages, and explore memorial pages.
