At Ashes 2 Oceans, we are honored to help families create meaningful and heartfelt farewells for their loved ones. Recently, we organized an Attended Scattering Ceremony, and it was an evening filled with reflection, connection, and the celebration of a beautiful life.
A Thoughtfully Planned Farewell
We gathered with the family at the ferry terminal, where passes were distributed to ensure everyone was accounted for before boarding the comfortable and well-appointed vessel. Guests were welcomed with wine provided by the family, and additional beverages were available from the onboard bar.
Adding to the evening's heartfelt atmosphere, a violinist played beautiful music as we reached the site for the scattering. The serene melodies set the tone for a meaningful and reflective ceremony.
A Heartfelt Ceremony at Sea
At the chosen location, the group gathered to share memories, stories, and words of love. Each person had the opportunity to speak, creating a space filled with laughter, tears, and heartfelt connections. The ashes were respectfully scattered using a biodegradable urn, a meaningful way to return their loved one to the embrace of the ocean.
A Celebration of Life on Land
Following the scattering, the group gathered at the patio of the Deep Sea Winery, just steps from the ferry terminal. There, they enjoyed a selection of appetizers and fine wines while sharing more stories and memories.
The atmosphere was warm and lively, a celebration of a life well-lived.
As the evening drew to a close, the family walked across the street to the beach, where they watched the sunset together over the ocean. It was a moment of shared reflection, filled with peace, laughter, and love—a perfect conclusion to the day.

At Ashes 2 Oceans, we are committed to helping families honor their loved ones with dignity and grace. This ceremony was a beautiful reminder of the power of connection and the comfort that comes from celebrating a life surrounded by loved ones.
