beach table set up image

My god mother is gravely ill and wants me to have a memorial on the beach with her urn, no scattering just a memorial. It would be a large amount of people definitely over 200. Has anyone ever done this? Any info would help thank you!
Answer
It is certainly a lovely idea and will provide you with the comfort of honoring her wishes as well as the chance to celebrate her life in a beautiful setting. I am sure that what you want is possible but certainly not without some expense.
Not knowing whether you plan to hold the service at a public or private beach, I am going to assume that you ask because you want to use a public beach. You will probably be contacting Parks and Recreation first. In some localities, Public Safety or the Police Department issues the assembly permits. You're on your own there because there are too many beaches in SoCal to check for you.
Not knowing where in southern California you are located nor the beach you have selected, I can only talk in general terms. Scroll down Southern California Beach list page, linked belowm for a list of beach cities. The internal links won't help much but you can then select the location in order to contact City Hall or the county government or the State of California depending.

For a group of 200 people, you might need a permit to reserve facilities. You will most certainly have to make arrangements for seating, unless people should just dress for the beach and bring towels to sit on. Do you want sound amplification? Check to make sure this can be done, if there are power sources and approved companies who provide sound amplification. What about parking? Unless you have a centralized meeting place where people will board buses, the site must have both parking and bathroom facilities.
Do you plan to serve food afterwards? If so, tables, seating, refrigeration, cooking must probably be brought in...is it permitted? .Flowers or food for the gulls?

I would suggest selecting at least 3 beaches so that if your plans aren't allowed at one, you immediately have a backup. Check them personally complete with checklist of what you need to be sure that the selections will work for your plans.
Once you have chosen a date or a selection of dates, contact the proper authority for permissions, permits and restrictions, and specific site instructions. Set a date well enough in advance that people can be notified.
Plan for clean up as well unless this is included in the permit fee. There are also private facilities which have beachfront property and will accomodate any occasion. It might mean less work for you although the expenditure will be higher.
The truth is, renting space for a memorial ceremony is no different than a family reunion at a beach. Same logistics, slightly different program of events.

Answer
You can do it! Use the house! Invite all of their friends and tell them each to bring one food dish. When the day comes, make posters or signs using household objects, and set up the food people bring on a table. Put on some music and you're good to go!
