Beyond the Port Everglades inlet, three or more nautical miles from the nearest shore. The primary and traditional setting for a burial at sea ceremony in Fort Lauderdale. Deep blue water and the open horizon mark this as the most symbolic location for families choosing an ocean ash scattering service, and it meets the EPA distance requirement.
