The world has moved on from the traditional interment. Burial at sea Florida Ocean has gained traction. Most families choose this option because it is a stipulation in the last will and testament. Sometimes the deceased will have made the wish known at the deathbed. The family might also decide because of a special connection the person had with the water. The point is, it is available if so wished. It is also perfectly legal. This is unless of course, the body is haphazardly dumped.
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.
Cremation or intact? If the body is to be buried intact, measures need to be taken so that mother nature does not resurface the body a few weeks later. This would be disturbing and a tad disrespectful. Place the body in a metal casket four times the weight of the deceased. Secure the body laterally. Drill the bottom of the casket with two six-inch holes. These will ensure permanent descent to the bottom.
It is incredibly important to know where to release the casket. The party must move out in the open water. At least three nautical miles away from the dock. A crane should also be brought so that the casket is lowered 600 ft before release to sink to the bottom. This number can be deeper but not any less. Please do not assume that it will possible to lower almost a thousand pounds of metal and human flesh without a crane. Be prepared.
Flowers are allowed. They can be scattered all over the area just as a sort of profound send off. Also, ensure to note the coordinates of the area for future reference. The family might want to have a memorial at the exact same sport a few years later.
Cremation is a good idea but obviously not everyone likes it. The ashes will not necessitate a crane or distance restrictions. The family will however want to move away from the crowd and boat traffic. They will want a bit of traffic so that mourners can have ample time to mourn and pay respects.
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.
