About Burial at Sea Services in Fort Myers, FL

A burial at sea or ash scattering ceremony in Fort Myers offers families a deeply meaningful farewell — on the open water, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Southwest Florida coastline. Maritime Burials connects families with fully licensed, professional captains who handle every aspect of the ceremony with dignity and care.

What to Expect from a Fort Myers Maritime Ceremony

Every ceremony we facilitate follows federal EPA guidelines, which require ash scattering to take place at least 3 nautical miles from shore. Our captains navigate to compliant waters and provide a private, unhurried experience for your family. Most ceremonies include a minimum two-hour charter block to ensure you have adequate time for reflection, readings, flower petals, or any personal traditions you wish to observe.

Why Choose Maritime Burials in Fort Myers?

Unlike single-operator charter companies, Maritime Burials is a nationwide marketplace — meaning you can compare vessels, read captain profiles, and choose the experience that best fits your family's vision and budget. When Fort Myers becomes fully available, you'll be able to browse vessels, filter by passenger count and price, and send a booking inquiry directly to the captain.
