What is a Scattering of Ashes?

Scattering of ashes or sea scattering is an option that the family of the deceased can avail. It refers to scattering the ashes into the sea. The ashes are collected in an urn or vessel and scattered at a predetermined location in the presence of the key members of the family. The perfect urns can be found at our online store. It is a very personal and culturally important ceremony; it is considered a unique opportunity to let the deceased peacefully rest in the vast sea. You may request for light refreshments after the completion of the ceremony, which will be arranged for as per your requirements.
