Sea Burial Services in Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach Sea Burial services from Fin & Fly Charters provide families with a peaceful, private, and dignified way to honor a loved one. Our Cocoa Beach Sea Burial charters offer respectful burial at sea and ash scattering ceremonies aboard a private boat, allowing family and friends to celebrate a life well lived on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.

Private Cocoa Beach Sea Burial Services

Every Cocoa Beach Sea Burial charter is completely private. Your family will have the boat reserved exclusively for your group, allowing everyone the time and privacy to celebrate your loved one’s life without interruption.

Each memorial service can be personalized to reflect your family’s wishes. During your burial at sea, you may choose to:

• Scatter cremated remains
• Read prayers or scripture
• Share stories and memories
• Play your loved one’s favorite music
• Observe a moment of silence
• Release biodegradable flowers or petals
• Take photographs and videos
• Celebrate together in a peaceful ocean setting

No two memorial services are alike, and we are honored to help families create a meaningful farewell.

Why Choose a Sea Burial in Cocoa Beach?

A Sea Burial in Cocoa Beach offers a unique and tranquil alternative to a traditional cemetery service. The Atlantic Ocean provides a beautiful setting where families can gather, reflect, and celebrate a loved one’s life surrounded by nature.

Many families choose a burial at sea because it allows them to honor someone who loved boating, fishing, the military, or simply spending time on the water. The peaceful sounds of the ocean often create a comforting environment during this important moment.

What to Expect During Your Sea Burial Charter

When you arrive for your private memorial charter, our captain will welcome your family aboard and review the day’s itinerary. We will then travel at least three nautical miles offshore, where the ash scattering at sea ceremony will take place in accordance with federal requirements.

Your charter includes:

• Private boat reserved exclusively for your family
• Trip duration is about 2 hours
• Licensed and experienced captain
• 33ft boat comes with shade and a bathroom
• Offshore voyage to the memorial location
• Plenty of time for your ceremony
• Assistance during the ash scattering
• GPS coordinates of the memorial location upon request
• Peaceful return to the marina

There is no rush. We understand how important this day is, and we allow families the time they need to say goodbye.

Federal Guidelines for Sea Burials and Ash Scattering

Sea burials are conducted in accordance with federal regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Families can learn more about the requirements for burial at sea, including the three-nautical-mile rule and reporting requirements, by visiting the EPA’s official Burial at Sea information page.

You can also find additional information about marine protection and federal regulations on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website.
