Friends ashes at sea

very sorry for your loss.
I did the same for my father 13 years ago when he died. My family and I went out on my cigarette and spread some of his ashes out in the ocean in Fl and then a few months later we spread some more of his ashes in long Island sound NY. and the rest of his ashes were buried in the national cemetery in Long Island . We didnt ask anyone for permission , we just did it. Tom |

His dying wish was to be cremated and buried at sea on his birthday in April, and it seems only right to do it off of an offshore boat. I volunteered mine, but I am not sure if there are any legalities to worry about, or if we can just go and dump the ashes offshore. Hopefully somebody on here has went through this and can help! Then I just have to figure out how to fit 11 people on my boat, haha! Thanks for any help you can provide.
We just spread the ashes of a friend of mine who was a Coast Guard member in one outside of Long Beach 2 weeks ago. The Coast Guard will tell you where they are, or you can go and just "do it". Uncle Dave |
We spread the ashes of my father and sister at sea some years back.
Picked a nice reef not too far from shore with coordinates I could easily remember. Rented a 55ft beautiful vessel that would hold everyone and "just did it". Make sure the boat has a working wash down water hose, so if any ashes do get wind blown onto the boat or hull, they can easily be washed back into the ocean. No regrets, I will probably go that route myself when the time comes. |
Many localities have laws that prohibit it due to "Hazmat" blah, blah, blah. It is best to just get a couple of boats, go out to good place and just do it. Drink a few toasts and run into the wind as you release the ashes from the back. Better not to bring the "Man" into it.

Good friend of mine said when he goes he wants to be dumped down the intake of a blower motor running WOT! :D

To avoid complications in regards to burial, on board have certificate of death and certificate of cremation. This was suggested by director of funeral home.
Disposed of wife's remains in June off Miami. Sorry for the loss. |
I have been a funeral director for 25 years and always tell people to just do it discreetly. It's a good idea to note your location and put it on the cremation certificate for future generations. No hazmat, cremains are only inorganic bone fragments.

Sorry for your loss.
If my boat was down in Florida, I would have gladly volunteered to bring out people. Sorry I can't help. |
