First German sea undertaker's proves to be successful: The ashes of a person, who had wished to be buried at sea are seen being lowered into the water by a co-worker of the first ''German Shipping-Firm for Sea Burials''(picture). Being one year in business now, the firm has proved to be rather successful many urns have already been sent to the bottom of the Nort or Baltic Sea and about one thousand people have declared to be buried at sea after they will have died. The surprising thing is that there are less sailors than land-lubbers and more women (54%) than men who want their ashes to be dropped into the sea.
