Guidelines For Scattering Cremation Ashes In Florida Ocean

By Michelle Hill


Once you have cremated your loved one, it might be hard for you to know what to do with their remains. If you are in Florida, you should know that scattering cremation ashes in Florida Ocean is not prohibited. You do not require any special permit to do this. You can do this either on your own or through the help of a professional company that specializes in this. Here is how to go about it.

You need to buy an urn, where the remains will be placed. There are so many varieties that are available in the market, so choose the most suitable one for you. You can choose to either throw away the urn together with the remains, or you can just scatter the remains and then keep the urn. If you will throw away the urn into the water, then buy an eco-friendly one, so that it can naturally decompose with time.

You also need to think about how you will get into the middle of the water. You are required to scatter the remains a few miles from the shore. For this reason, you will need to use a boat. You can either use the one you have, borrow one or rent one. Find one which is big enough to accommodate the number of people who want to attend the ceremony. You can even hire multiple boats.

Once you get to where you want to scatter the remains, bring the boat to a stop. This will help you figure the direction where the wind is blowing and give you a chance to scatter the remains properly. You definitely don't want the remains being blown back all over your face. Preferably, stand at the back of the boat, so that the remains don't get blown back into the boat.

It is important that you take not of the longitudinal coordinates of the place where you scattered the remains. This is so that you can come back to that place if you want to do so in future. You might also choose to scatter some flower petals into the water too or throw in a bouquet of flowers.

If you are not interested in the actual ceremony itself, no problem. You can get someone to do it for you. There will be no need for you to be there. The person who does it can send you some photos of the ceremony.

You can do some things to keep the memories of the ceremony alive. For instance, you can order some cremation jewelry. This can include a necklace, with some of the remains placed inside it. You can also take some photos during the ceremony. Keep in mind boat safety during the whole process. This is to prevent any accidents from happening.

If you are not certain as to whether you would like to scatter the remains of your loved one or not that is understandable. Take your time before you make this decision since it is irreversible. You can keep their remains in an urn until that time when you are sure that this is something that you want to do. You do not have to scatter their remains immediately they have been cremated.
