I did this for my husband....we went on a ship out in the ocean and i had a big shell to put his ashes in that i had ordered and it was for this ...it was made for the ocean....i did not need a permit...it was a beautiful thing to do and the people who took us out on the ship were very caring and were there for this purpose...it was sunset etc...the requirements i looked up at the time was it had to be 3 miles out...other than that...alot of people do not realize you are allowed to do this...and actually a body can be put in the ocean also!!! there are minor requirements but it is not hard to do! i don't regret it and plan on it for myself!! its natural...going back to a place you love!

Laws to spreading ashes in the state of Florida?
I found this on Affinity Cremation's web site (link below) There are no laws in Florida prohibiting scattering ashes.Florida Law does not prohibit scattering ashes. This does not mean, however, that you may spread or scatter the ashes anywhere you choose.• You should not spread or scatter ashes on public lands or any inland bodies of water such as streams, rivers or lakes, etc.• You may spread, scatter or bury ashes on any private land that you own or have obtained permission from the owner. We would suggest that you obtain this permission in writing.• Many states have different laws regarding this subject. If you are considering spreading or scattering ashes somewhere other than Florida, you should check the laws of that state before proceeding.• Scattering or spreading ashes in the ocean is permitted, however federal regulations do specify this should be done only beyond 3 miles from the coast. http://affinitycremation.com/questions.html#ten

If you are referring to spreading of cremated remains: It depends on which state you are looking to spread in. In California, to spread ashes in the ocean it must be done 500 yards off shore.
