SCATTERING ASHES AT SEA

Say goodbye to your loved ones at sea with our Funeral Ashes Scattering Ceremony. A moment of emotion and connection with nature as we bid farewell to those we cherish in a serene and beautiful setting.

At uCharter, we organise private ash scattering ceremonies at sea in Altea, supporting families through a delicate moment with the utmost discretion, sensitivity and respect. The trip departs by boat from Marina Greenwich, in Altea, in a peaceful and intimate setting for a calm and meaningful farewell at sea.

The ceremony is arranged with the appropriate legal coverage and with authorisation from the Alicante Maritime Authority for this service. During the trip, the family may say a few words, keep a moment of silence, accompany the farewell with music or simply experience the tribute in a sober and personal way, always with professional support and without rushing.

The boat can accommodate up to 11 people on board, in accordance with the authorisation available for this service, so that close family and loved ones can share this farewell together. If your group requires special arrangements, we can consider alternatives to adapt the ceremony to each case.

The service includes a professional skipper, a private ceremony, respectful assistance and a geolocation certificate of the exact point where the ashes are scattered. Natural petals or other biodegradable, sea-friendly elements may also be brought on board to accompany the ceremony.
