Compassionate Cremation Services and Burial at Sea in Marathon, FL

A Dignified Farewell via Dispersal of Cremated Remains in the Tranquil Waters of Marathon, FL Keys

 

Compassion and Experience at the Heart of Every Service

Florida Keys Burial At Sea is owned and operated by a veteran Firefighter-Paramedic, employed locally here in South Florida for nearly 30 years. With the rising costs of today’s economy, cremation and burial at sea have become increasingly popular, in contrast to purchasing a burial plot and performing an expensive funeral at a cemetery. Whether you choose to disperse your loved one’s remains aboard our 25’ World Cat, or opt for an unattended burial at sea where our crew performs this service alone, we offer the options and necessities needed to send your loved one to their forever resting place in the beautiful waters of Marathon in the Florida Keys.

Respectful and Memorable Sea Burials

Florida Keys Burial At Sea, provides a serene alternative to traditional burial methods. Our services reflect our commitment to offering respectful and heartfelt send-offs into the peaceful waters of the Florida Keys. Opt for a personal, attended service aboard our 25’ World Cat or choose an unattended burial at sea performed by our experienced crew.

A Waterfront Tribute to Service

We are proud to support our fellow service members by offering FREE unattended burials at sea to U.S. Military Veterans and Career Police Officers/Firefighters. It’s our way of giving back to those who have dedicated their lives to serving our community and country.

Affordable and Meaningful Goodbyes

The beauty of the Florida Keys provides a picturesque backdrop for saying your final goodbyes. With the escalating costs associated with conventional funerals, our burial at sea services not only offer significant financial relief, but also ensure a serene resting place among scenic landmarks like the Sombrero Lighthouse and the 7 Mile Bridge.

Seamless and Serene Burial at Sea Options

Whether you're looking to personally partake in the farewell journey or prefer a more private approach, our two options of burial at sea services are catered to both. 

Choose from two options:

  • Attended: Come aboard our 25’ World Cat to gently release ashes into the ocean, 3+ miles offshore, where the horizon meets the sky above the tranquil waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Unattended: Trust us to handle everything with care and respect. Send us the cremated remains, and our crew will ensure a dignified sea burial on your behalf.

Additionally, every service includes a commemorative certificate detailing the GPS coordinates of your loved one's final journey (viewable via Adobe Acrobat).

'I can't say enough about Florida Keys Burial At Sea. We needed a reputable company to be there for my family at our time of need, and we were fortunate to have found Captain Josh. Our experience was both beautiful and meaningful. Thank you so much for providing this service to my family!'

Jeannine Tilford, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

'Although my Uncle Ed did not live in the FL Keys, it was one of his favorite places to vacation. After his passing we decided that there would be no better place to scatter his ashes than in the beautiful waters of Marathon. Thank you, Captain Josh, for taking my family aboard HydroTherapy and allowing us to fulfill this meaningful obligation.'

Eric Platon, Jacksonville, FL

'I will be forever grateful for the exceptional service provided by Captain Joshua with Florida Keys Burial at Sea, LLC in the recent burial of my parents in Marathon, Florida.
I live out of state and came upon the company online. Communications were always prompt and responsive as I posed inquiries before selecting the company and then later after my reservation was confirmed. Captain Joshua was tactful, sensitive, compassionate, and professional; because of this, an experience that might have been upsetting was instead deeply comforting. The ceremony was conducted with the utmost dignity and respect, creating a serene and memorable farewell. It offered solace and closure.
I highly recommend Florida Keys Burial at Sea’s services to anyone seeking a beautiful and meaningful way to honor their loved ones at sea.'
