When someone is buried (officially) at sea, the corpse is wrapped in a shroud (traditionally in the corpses canvas hammock), with a weight at the feet. At the end of the shipborne burial service, the corpse is slid overboard into the sea. Obviously, in peace time, you would need official permission, probably from a coroner.
