ASHES AT SEA

Scattering ashes at sea can be a meaningful and peaceful way to memorialise a loved one who has passed away. This process involves taking a small amount of the deceased's ashes and scattering them in the ocean. This can be done either by the person conducting the scattering or by a professional who is accompanying them.

 

The process of scattering ashes at sea typically involves the following steps:

 

1. The ashes are placed in a small container, such as a biodegradable urn, that can be easily transported to the ocean.

​

2. The container is taken to a boat or other watercraft that will be used for the scattering.

​

3. The boat is taken to a location in the ocean that is far enough away from the shore and other vessels to avoid causing any disturbance or pollution.

​

4. The ashes are scattered into the water, either by hand or by using a special scattering urn.

 

Once the ashes are scattered at sea, they become a part of the natural environment and can travel far and wide with ocean currents.

​

Scattering ashes at sea can be a peaceful and beautiful way to honour the memory of a loved one. However, it is important to carefully consider the logistics and safety concerns associated with boating and scattering ashes at sea. It is also important to check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits before conducting a scattering at sea.
