Ideas On Burial At Sea Florida Ocean Services

By Joseph Taylor


The resting place chose by a family is usually considered a sign of respect for the deceased. More often than not, it serves as a place for the family to come back and pay respects over the years. However, some people leave behind instructions to have their burial at sea Florida Ocean. It might sound unusual but it is not actually, at least not anymore. These requests are quite common in cities with water.

Those wishes should not be followed without adhering to regulation. Sure, it is allowed but get the necessary authorization before going ahead to leave a corpse in public waters. Ensure the authorities know that a certain groups of people will be out on the water on a certain day with a human carcass with the intention of leaving it in the body. Through this one will also learn about how to ensure the body does not come back up onto the surface at a later date.

There are a few simple things to start off. Get a heavy metal casket. The casket should be at least four times the weight of the deceased minus the body. It should be drilled at the bottom to ensure rapid sinking to the bottom. Once the body is put inside, it should be fastened tightly to the casket.

If the body is interred while still intact, then the ceremony cannot be held anywhere the people please. It has to be at least three nautical miles out into the open water. The party must also lower the casket at least 600 ft below the surface before it is left to continue on its own. Therefore, while planning ensure to plan for a crane to handle this exercise.

After the practical part of it is done, the party is free to hang around after. As long as the duration specified in the permit is not exceeded, all is well. Flowers can be scattered all over the area. The flowers should not be those fake plastic ones. These are in contravention with environmental laws.

If the family or deceased would like to have the body cremated, then that makes thing s decidedly easier. Although, it is probably immaterial the position should be noted just for sentimentality. All they have to do is carry the ashes to a quiet place with little to no boat traffic or disturbance.

The cremation service will have provided an urn to carry the ashes in. Open then pour into the water. Everyone could then throw in a handful of petals or flower stalks. They could also put the ashes in a basket then garnish with flower petals. Place on the water then invert the basket. This is a good way to do it if it is very windy that the ashes could land into the mouth of someone.

One can decide to go with biodegradable urns or water-soluble ones. The former, releases the ashes into the water over time. The latter, dissolves once it has sunk into the water. The ashes are dispersed along with it.
