Captain Brad was so great to work with and we had a great ride out to sea and had a memorial for my father which included my brother playing TAPS upon the release of my father's ashes. A very spiritual experience. We highly recommend Ashes At Sea for your needs.

After speaking with Captain Brad, I felt confident he would treat the ashes with great respect. He supplied the most wonderful videos and photos as the ashes and flowers were dispersed. When you can talk to someone from your heart and feel they are listening — it's a great comfort.

Burial at Sea in Daytona Beach & New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Florida's Atlantic coastline offers one of the most beautiful and meaningful settings in the world for a burial at sea or cremation ash scattering ceremony. We are honored to serve families throughout Volusia County and beyond.
Ash Scattering in New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach is home to our primary departure point at 2574 Turnbull Bay Rd, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168. From here, Captain Brad navigates the Indian River Lagoon and out through Ponce Inlet into the open Atlantic Ocean — one of the most scenic and peaceful routes on Florida's east coast.
The calm, clear waters off New Smyrna Beach make it an ideal location for a cremation ash scattering ceremony. Whether you choose an attended service with family aboard or a private non-attended ceremony, the natural beauty of this stretch of coastline provides a truly fitting farewell.
New Smyrna Beach is known for its laid-back, community feel — a place where people have deep roots and a love for the ocean. Many families choose this location because it was a place their loved one cherished during their lifetime.
