A farewell on the water

Scattering Ashes by Boat

We understand how meaningful it is to commemorate the life of a loved one in a way that feels personal and fitting. Our scattering ashes service offers families a peaceful, natural setting on the waters of Port Phillip Bay to honour those who have passed.

Locations

Peaceful places on the bay

We offer peaceful locations for scattering ashes across the northern part of Port Phillip Bay, such as off Point Ormond at Elwood. If you have a specific place in mind, we are happy to work with you to make the arrangements.

“We hired their great boat to sprinkle my mother's ashes at Point Ormond in Elwood. They are great communicators, polite and respectful and made the experience a memorable one for my family. Boat is new and very well equipped. These guys are the best.”

— Robert Newton, Melbourne
