Scattering Ashes

Scattering of Ashes at sea

After cremation it is sometimes requested that the ashes be scattered at sea.

This may be due to the wishes of the dear departed, a fondness of the sea, a nautical background or experience and can be completed in a manner that will be remembered forever.

We can organise parties of up to 60 persons to be taken out to sea to a quiet location usually in Christchurch Bay.

The boat will depart from Mudeford Quay (BH23 4AB) and will usually take about an hour.

This service is available at any time of the year, weather permitting apart from during the winter months of November to March, we can only take 12 passengers to sea.

For 1 to 60 persons on the Mudeford Ferry £240.

Please telephone for more details on 07968 334441

Scattering ashes directly onto the water can lead to them being blown about which some families may find distressing. Our partners at scattering Ashes  supply a wide range of urns specifically designed for water ceremonies. They are all 100% biodegradable and will dissolve in water – please follow the link: Water Urns

They also supply a water ceremony set which includes a water urn, flower petals for scattering, Promises – dissolvable notelets for scattering with the ashes, a certificate to record the ceremony, and a guide book: follow the link – Ashes ceremony Set
