Burial At Sea
At Anchors Away Charters, we understand how difficult it is to lose a loved one. Did your loved one cherish the coastal beaches, or did the open ocean hold special meaning for them? Our burial at sea service out of Boca Grande, Florida, provides a serene and private memorial environment for you and your family to say your final goodbyes—a touching moment that will forever be embedded in your hearts.
Our charter boat accommodates groups of up to six passengers for the burial at sea, and precise GPS coordinates of the spreading of ashes will be recorded. Biodegradable urns and flower wreaths are permitted and designed to gently float away from the boat. We kindly discourage the scattering of any non-biodegradable items along with the ashes.

Often, families are unable to venture out to sea or attend a scattering ashes memorial service. With our Unattended Service option, Captain Jeff can take the cremated remains on an ocean voyage on your behalf. Please Contact Captain Jeff to set up the details.
