Cremation urns for ashes in Orlando, Florida

Orlando is inland, so families here often want a cremation urn for ashes, cremation jewelry, or a later trip to the coast. Florida’s projected 2025 cremation rate is 73.5%.

No official Orlando 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 an Orlando storefront. A Bahamas cruise listing in the catalog is a voyage from a port, not an Orlando attraction.

Orlando ash scattering and inland lakes

Central Florida lakes and rivers are inland waters. They are not covered by the EPA’s ocean burial-at-sea permit. The EPA tells families to check with the state environmental or health agency. Some lakes sit in state parks or managed districts that have their own rules.

If the family’s plan is a later Atlantic or Gulf ceremony, use the three-nautical-mile federal rule and a biodegradable memorial urn, not a lakeside shortcut. City parks in Orlando need the city’s permission.

Cremation urns, jewelry, and memorials for Orlando 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

Can I scatter ashes in an Orlando-area lake?

Inland lakes are not governed by the EPA’s ocean permit. Ask the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the water-management district, or the park that manages the lake. This is not legal advice.

Does The Memorial Market have a store or funeral home in Orlando?

No. The Memorial Market is an online marketplace. We do not operate a showroom, funeral home, or staffed office in Orlando. 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 Orlando?

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 Orlando. 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.
