After a burial at sea ceremony, many families want a lasting, tangible way to honor their loved one's memory. Ashes at Sea Florida offers handcrafted memorial shadow boxes — beautiful, ocean-themed keepsakes that capture the spirit of the ceremony and provide a permanent tribute to display in the home.
What Is a Memorial Shadow Box?
A memorial shadow box is a framed, three-dimensional display case that holds meaningful items honoring a loved one who has passed. Our ocean-themed memorial shadow boxes are designed specifically for families who chose a burial at sea or ash scattering ceremony. Each box is handcrafted by Carla and features a custom ocean image or hand-painted scene, real Florida seashells, real Florida beach sand, your loved one's name and dates, the GPS coordinates of where their ashes were scattered at sea, and a mini sealed cork glass bottle that holds their birthstone, a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a pinch of sand.
Available Sizes and Pricing
We offer three sizes to fit every family's needs and budget. The 5×5 Memorial Treasure Box is $150 — a compact, beautiful keepsake perfect for a bedside table or shelf. The 8×8 Memorial Treasure Box is $200 — a mid-size display piece with room for more detail and personalization. The 8×10 Memorial Treasure Box is $250 — our largest and most detailed box, ideal for a prominent display in the home. All boxes are handcrafted to order and ship nationwide from New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
A Meaningful Memorial Gift
Our memorial shadow boxes make a deeply meaningful sympathy gift or bereavement gift for any family honoring a loved one's passing — whether or not they used our burial at sea service. They are a unique alternative to flowers or cards, and unlike those, they last forever. Many families order a memorial box as a gift for a parent, spouse, sibling, or child who could not attend the ceremony. Each box is personalized with the loved one's name, dates, and ceremony coordinates — making it a one-of-a-kind tribute.
