12. It is against Muslim religion to bury at sea except under certain circumstances if

the person died at sea. If they have to bury at sea the body is supposed to be weighted and shark type areas are to be avoided.

Muslim rules say buried deep in the ground and in a certain position related to Mecca.

This is what some scholars say.
