Cremation urns for ashes in Miami, Florida
Miami families often want a cremation urn for ashes, cremation jewelry, or a lawful Atlantic ceremony. Florida’s projected 2025 cremation rate is 73.5%, and Biscayne National Park has its own permit rules.
No official Miami cremation rate was found. The 73.5% figure is Florida’s statewide 2025 projection from the NFDA 2024 report.
The Memorial Market does not have a Miami shop or boat. A Bahamas ash-scattering cruise listing is a voyage, not a Biscayne Bay charter. California boat listings on the site are not Miami services.
Miami ash scattering, Biscayne, and the Atlantic
An Atlantic Ocean ceremony must follow the EPA general permit: three nautical miles from land, decomposable materials only, and notice to EPA Region 4 within 30 days. A biodegradable memorial urn is the usual vessel. Miami Beach itself is not three nautical miles offshore.
Biscayne National Park requires a Special Park Use Permit. The park says scattering must be away from high-use areas and that cremains may not be placed or dispersed within 100 yards of a body of water, road, or trail, or within developed areas, and that the activity is not permitted at Convoy Point. For at-sea scatterings it restates the EPA distance and 30-day notice rules.
Cremation urns, jewelry, and memorials for Miami families
These memorials are from the live Memorial Market catalog — cremation urns for ashes, cremation jewelry, and related tributes. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace and does not operate a funeral home or showroom in this city. Boat or plane ash-scattering listings, when shown, are the actual departure areas named on those listings.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to scatter ashes in Biscayne National Park?
Yes. Biscayne National Park requires a Special Park Use Permit and sets distance and location limits. Contact the park. This is not legal advice.
Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in Miami?
No. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace. We do not operate a showroom, funeral home, or staffed office in Miami. Families there can browse cremation urns for ashes, cremation jewelry, and other memorials on the site, and vendors ship completed pieces. Local funeral homes, crematories, and park agencies handle arrangements and any permits where you live.
Can I order cremation jewelry if I live in Miami?
Yes. Cremation jewelry — pendants, rings, and similar keepsakes that hold a small amount of cremated remains — is listed in the marketplace and can be shipped to families in Miami. It is a common choice when several relatives want a share of the remains, or when the rest will be placed in a cremation urn for ashes or scattered later.
What is the cremation rate in Florida?
The National Funeral Directors Association’s 2024 Cremation & Burial Report projected that 73.5% of deaths in Florida would be cremated in 2025, compared with a national projection of 63.3% in the same table. Those figures are projections, not a final vital-statistics release. A later NFDA report, announced in October 2025, updated the national 2025 projection to 63.4%. The Cremation Association of North America has separately reported a U.S. cremation rate of 62.8% in 2025. CANA’s full state table is not published publicly.
Can I scatter ashes from a Florida beach?
The EPA requires ocean placement at least three nautical miles from land. A beach or nearshore wading area does not meet that distance. A gathering on the sand is different from placing remains in the water. This is not legal advice.
Does the ocean rule apply in Tampa Bay or the Intracoastal?
The EPA’s burial-at-sea permit applies to ocean waters, not automatically to inland bays, rivers, or the Intracoastal. Those waters are a matter of state and local rules. Ask the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or the local managing agency. This is not legal advice.
