Scattering Ashes at Sea
Scattering ashes at sea can be a beautiful and meaningful way to say goodbye to a loved one. We understand that this can be a significant and emotional decision, and we are here to help guide you through the process with care and compassion.
We recommend a professional and respectful service for scattering ashes at sea, which we can facilitate through a trusted company. This company offers a compassionate and dignified service, ensuring your loved one’s ashes are scattered in a serene and fitting maritime location in Dorset.
Service Details
Scattering ashes at sea services are available from Monday to Friday, with prices starting from £350. Departures are from Poole Quay, and the journey heads towards Swanage, passing the scenic areas of Studland Bay and Sandbanks. The entire service typically lasts approximately two hours.
Additional Options:
Food and Drink:
Families are welcome to bring their own food and drink on board. If desired, the boat operators can arrange for a cream tea service at an additional cost.
Travel Route:
The specific route and destinations, such as staying in the harbour around the islands or venturing out towards Swanage past Studland Bay and Sandbanks, can be discussed and tailored to the family’s wishes.
Urn options:
Families can use a biodegradable urn or a scatter tube for free scattering, both of which we offer. Our range of urns and scatter tubes can be viewed on our website, but purchases must be made by contacting us directly.
Important Information:
All arrangements, including final confirmation of details, are to be coordinated directly with the skipper of the vessel.
Please note that while we provide a recommendation, all services are conducted by the external company and not by Douch Family Funeral Directors. This ensures that every aspect of the scattering is handled by professionals with expertise in maritime ash scattering.
