Not many words can describe images that are created from this type of Funeral.
We Celebrate the end of a Warriors life much bigger than the average Human. This specific Ceremony was one of Hawaiian Culture.
Not many Images will appear from this art form. Mainly because not many people wish for this upon their passing.
You never see a coffin being tossed into the ocean like this because most times its ashes. This 1/1 art image was produced by two images.
The image of him Surfing Giant Peahi (Jaws) on Maui and one of his passing. The art piece was made for the services and provided detail from living life to the fullest. Making your final resting place at the very location where you rode mountain high waves to being engraved in that spot forever.
Many people are not aware of the Bond we have with the Ocean.
This funeral isn't sad to us as we celebrate ones life. When a very know descendent of the Hawaiian Culture passes he does get royalty treatment.
This image shows how one genuine and different funerals can be.
In Hawaii the rules are fairly simple. The coffin must be approved for the ocean and the final resting place must be 3 miles off the coast.
Sharing this art was something I thought would shine light within our culture. Not all people prefer this was on passing. But the art within this Image has very deep culture.
As he rides the wave to his final resting place.
