We have partnered with a wonderful company, Stardust Memorials, who specializes in biodegradable water burial urns. We have used these products many times in the past and the quality is top shelf. We highly recommend the “Journey Biodegradable Urn” as our choice. After placing the urn into the sea, it floats briefly and slowly begins to sink. Flowers are often tied to the ribbon around it and once below the surface, as the urn begins to break open, the flowers are released and float to the surface. It’s a special process that we personally find to be most memorable. Other options are also available to meet your personal desire.

The staff at Stardust Memorials are extremely informative and can recommend to you exactly what you will require to fulfill your loved one’s wish for burial at sea. The urns are often able to be engraved and shipping is extremely fast.

Upfront Pricing

$550 – Unattended Burial at Sea

Within 72 hours of receiving the cremated remains of your loved one in the biodegradable urn of your choice, we will prepare our vessel for the 8+ mile roundtrip journey into the Gulf of Mexico. We will obtain fresh flowers to attach to your urn or to place upon the water. After arriving to our special location within sight of Sanibel Island Light house, Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs, and northern Naples, we will drop the sails and turn of all equipment. If desired, we will do a reading of your choice that you included with the cremated remains before releasing the urn into the sea. We will take photos, record the time and GPS location, and stay on scene until the urn has fully submerged… and in most cases releasing the attached flowers to the surface. We will fill out the Certificate of Burial at Sea which will be mailed to your address of choice within the continental U.S.. A Burial At Sea Report (BASR) will be filed with the EPA as required by law. No marina fee required since unattended.

Please note. Cremated Remains must be shipped via United States Postal Service Priority Mail Express. Complete USPS guidelines can be viewed here: https://about.usps.com/publications/pub139.pdf
