Private Ash Scattering Services

Our attended, private, and intimate ash scattering service allows family and close friends gather to scatter the cremated remains of a loved one at sea. Our service will facilitate travel for up to six family, friends, and/ or clergyman or religious officiant to a meaningful location on the water. The ceremony may include readings, prayers, or personal reflections to honor the departed individual. The cremated ashes are then gently released into the ocean, allowing them to merge with the natural elements, creating a peaceful and symbolic farewell for the deceased. This type of service offers a tranquil and personal way to commemorate the life of the departed while connecting with the beauty of the open sea. We will work diligently with you and your family to curate a meaningful and respectful send off for your loved one.
