Burial at sea or ashes scattered at sea is a time honored ceremony providing peace and comfort for those in mourning. The sea has received the remains of loved ones down through the ages and provides a most honorable means of celebrating the lives of those we mourn. There is a certain comfort in knowing that the person is mixed with the sea and is somehow with us every time we go to the beach or out on the water.
Losing a loved one is an experience that can be very difficult for those who were left behind. Saying goodbye in a peaceful and beautiful setting on the sea provides family and friends a form of closure to aid in the grieving process. Pure Florida is a company that has a great love for the sea and recognizes the affinity, and the desire that many people have for the sea to be their final resting place. We are dedicated in providing you with the means to mourn your loss in a serene way.
Pure Florida provides compassionate, personal, and professional burial at sea services in Naples Florida. We can accommodate large groups of close friends and family members (up to 149 passengers) aboard the DOUBLE SUNSHINE, or more intimate services for smaller groups (up to 6 passengers) aboard M/V Sea Flight II & M/V Sea Flight III.
Pure Florida can provide bio-degradable urns to hold your loved ones remains and the urn can be plant based, sand, gelatin, or constructed out of rock salt. Flower wreaths, stems or petals are permitted to mark the location for a period, and all services are provided with a Certificate of Burial from our Coast Guard certified captain marking the longitude and latitude of where your loved one was placed should you wish to visit the sight in the future.
The burial at sea memorial services may be presided over by whoever is chosen to do so. Military honors may be provided such as playing of taps and a military flag folding. All burials will be required to adhere to the Coast Guard stipulations.
Contact us today and let us provide you with a fitting way of grieving your loved one’s departure with a burial at sea service.
Memorial services where ashes are scattered at sea in an incredibly caring fashion can be a healing and uplifting experience for those left behind, and a beautiful way of paying your last respects to a dearly departed loved one. We know how important it is to you that this moment is treated with the utmost care and respect, and we do not take the significance and responsibility of your moment lightly.
The actual form the ash scattering ceremony takes is entirely up to you and your family. With our private Naples boat burial services, once your vessel reaches the destination, you can perform last rites as you please. A clergy member or family member is often designated to perform the ceremony, music can be played, special verses can be read, and a moment of silence is often observed. Once done, the ashes are then scattered, and you, your family, and your friends can throw flowers as a last sign of love and respect for the departed.
Similar to the burial at sea services, we can accommodate large groups (up to 139 passengers) aboard the M/V DOUBLE SUNSHINE, or for smaller groups (up to 6 passengers) aboard M/V SEA FLIGHT II or III for ash scattering at sea memorial services. Once the service is complete you can return to land, or you can cruise the waters as part of your memorial experience. Ash scattering services performed vary in both costs and duration based on your wishes. Just let us know what your specific needs are, and we will do everything we can to accommodate them.
At Pure Florida, we are committed to making it easy for you to plan a personalized ash scattering at sea memorial service in Naples that celebrates the life of your loved one. All of our services are provided by Coast Guard Licensed Captains.
