08/27/23 @cindylido.  I've researched scattering ashes at sea and spoken with an attorney, and apparently there are no federal regulations or prohibitions on this in Brazil, although there may be some local regulations in some places.  Here are some of the sites I looked at, which are quite encouraging:

The three-mile limit is a strictly US requirement, and does not apply here.  You and your friends may want to charter a boat to do it anyway for reasons of privacy (and to avoid the possibility of blowback), but there's no need to go so far from shore.  It even seems that you can do it off a pier if you prefer.

Since you have friends in the area, my suggestion would be to ask one of them to call one or two of the larger funerárias in town, and ask them as a hypothetical question whether there are any rules about dispersal of ashes on the part of the coast that you have in mind. 

thanks, i was going to do that very thing

Anyone know or had experience with spreading ashes of loved ones in the sea ?
I have searched, even my attorney searched , but could not find out if there are any regulations regarding this.
For example, In the U.S it must be done at least 3 Nautical miles from shore so you have to use a boat.
I will be going back down soon , taking his remains with me to leave in Bahia.
YES , I ALREADY HAVE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK.
Thanks for any insight

I know it's a different country, but I simply took my parents back up to Iceland where I am from. I split their ashes and buried half in the family cemetery in Reykjavik and then just spread the remainder in Reykjavik harbor, right off the shoreline. For what it is worth, I work in and teach science and medicine. Although it is claimed DNA can on rare occasions be obtainable from cremated remains, I have yet to find any in my own college lab.
