Burial at Sea in Florida
With warm water on three coasts — the Atlantic, the Gulf, and the Keys — Florida offers more year-round burial at sea options than anywhere in America. From the Gulf Stream blue off Miami to emerald Panhandle waters, every farewell here is bathed in light.
Sea Services has arranged burials at sea and ash scatterings in Florida since 1991. Every service is performed by U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captains in full compliance with EPA regulations, a minimum of three nautical miles from shore, aboard Coast Guard–approved vessels.

Families who wish to be aboard can plan a private memorial charter from any of these ports — most last 1.5 to 2 hours dock to dock. If your family cannot attend, our Captain’s Service performs a dignified, fully documented unattended scattering, available year-round.
