Burial at Sea in Miami
Many families use the phrase “burial at sea” when they are looking for a peaceful way to place cremated remains in the ocean. Sea Farewells helps families in Miami and South Florida plan dignified ash scattering ceremonies at sea, including attended and unattended options.
While full-body burial at sea and cremated-remains scattering are different processes, families often search for both terms when exploring ocean memorial options. Sea Farewells focuses on respectful ash scattering services for cremated remains at sea.

A Peaceful Ocean Memorial in Miami
An ash scattering at sea can be simple, private, and meaningful. Families may gather aboard the vessel to share memories, say prayers, play music, or spend quiet time on the water. Other families prefer an unattended service handled respectfully by the Sea Farewells team.
Understanding Basic Federal Requirements
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency explains that cremated human remains may be buried at sea under the general permit, provided the burial occurs at least three nautical miles from land and the EPA is notified within 30 days after the event.
Sea Farewells helps families understand the process and plan the ceremony with care.
