Saying Goodbye, Gently: The Beauty of Ash Scattering at Sea

ree

Losing a loved one is never easy. Finding a meaningful way to honor them can offer comfort. One gentle, natural option is ocean ash scattering—a peaceful farewell that connects their memory to the calming rhythm of the sea.


What Is Ash Scattering at Sea?

Ashes to ocean scattering is a memorial service where cremated remains are respectfully released into the ocean. It's a symbolic return to nature—representing freedom, renewal, and eternal connection.

Ashes 2 Oceans offers both attended and unattended ceremonies. Whether you're present on a boat near California’s Channel Islands or have us scatter the ashes on your behalf, each service is done with care and reverence.


How It Works

The process is simple yet meaningful:

  • Ashes are prepared using eco-friendly methods.

  • A licensed captain leads the ceremony.

  • Families can join in person or receive photos and GPS coordinates.

  • Biodegradable urns and keepsakes are available, allowing for a personal and environmentally conscious tribute.
