Every family comes to us with a different story. Some seek a peaceful ashes at sea ceremony, others a more traditional religious or non-religious farewell, and many choose a deeply symbolic Hindu scattering service on the water.

What unites them all is the need for a dignified, compassionate way to say goodbye. Out on the waves, time slows… there is space to breathe, reflect, and release.

We’ve been humbled by the kind words left in our Google reviews. Families have described their experience with us as:

“Caring, respectful and deeply personal.”

“The most peaceful way we could imagine saying goodbye.”

“Handled with compassion from start to finish.”

If you’d like to hear more directly from the families we’ve supported, you’ll find their stories on our Google Reviews Page https://share.google/RLX6bgYubLZDm71RL

These reflections mean so much, because our role is not just to guide a ceremony, but to hold a safe and gentle space in which loved ones can find comfort.

Whether it’s a simple non-religious scattering of ashes, a carefully observed faith-based ceremony, or a Hindu ritual with prayer and offerings, each journey is shaped with care.

Over the past few weeks, we've had the honour of helping several Hindu families with the final part of their loved one's journey — placing the ashes into the sea.

While many traditionally place ashes in a river, some families are drawn to the calm and vastness of the ocean for a more peaceful farewell. Whether it’s for spiritual reasons, connection to the elements, or just the simplicity of nature, scattering ashes at sea has become a meaningful choice for many.

At Ashes at Sea – Gosport, we’ve supported both quiet, family-only ceremonies and services where a Hindu priest was present to perform final rites. It really depends on what feels right for each family.

If you're searching for where to place ashes in water — or specifically how to carry out a Hindu sea scattering ceremony — feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to advise gently, with no pressure.

A Peaceful Sikh Ash Scattering at Sea

Recently, we had the privilege of supporting a Sikh family from South Essex / East London in honouring their loved one with an Ash Scattering Ceremony at Sea.

Guided by a Sikh priest and traditional prayers, the ceremony took place on the calm, clear waters off the South Coast — an area the family specifically chose for its purity and tranquility, reflecting the dignity and spiritual importance of the occasion.

Scattering Ashes At Sea is a deeply personal farewell. It can offer a meaningful, peaceful setting for families of all faiths and beliefs — including Sikh, Hindu, Christian, and Non-Religious — to honour their loved ones in nature’s embrace.

If you're considering this kind of final tribute, we’re here to help you create a respectful and serene experience.

We’re always honoured to help families say goodbye in a way that feels right for them — especially when that goodbye takes place at sea.

Every ash scattering is deeply personal, and we never take it for granted. The feedback we receive means the world to us, and reminds us why we do what we do.

Here’s a recent message from a family we had the privilege of supporting:

"Dave was a delight to deal with at every step... He is warm, empathetic, and respectful... not feeling rushed, being given gentle guidance, and feeling confident in unfamiliar waters — it was priceless... We had champagne, flowers, our music playing... It was emotional, peaceful, and beautiful... We were given space to just ‘Be’ during this poignant moment."

We’re truly humbled to receive words like this.

Last week on Dointhedo we had the privilege of taking a family out to Bembridge Ledge to place their departed fathers ashes in the sea. His ashes, placed in a biodegradable urn, were gently released into the waters, merging with the sea that had played such a significant role in his life. The father had proudly served on HMS Alliance, a Royal Navy submarine that famously grounded on Bembridge Ledge in 1968—making today’s journey all the more poignant.

As the urn floated away, the family shared stories of his time aboard Alliance, and his recounting of the day the Sub found itself stuck on the ledge, and honoring his life of service. It was a moving and respectful farewell, perfectly aligned with the natural rhythm of the ocean. For more information on scattering ashes at sea, visit our website at www.ashesatsea.co.uk.

As a family, we thoroughly recommend ’Doin-the-Do’ catamaran experience for scattering ashes. Dave, the skipper couldn’t have been more helpful, respectful and conscientious about our special memorial. The timings were spot on and the location in the Solent was well chosen. He helped make our sad day perfect.

We cannot recommend these people highly enough; their attentiveness, respectfulness, and friendliness made the day for us.

We had decided that the trip was to be more of a celebration than a funeral, Dave and Amanda completely “got” the atmosphere that we wanted although I’m confident that they would provide just as good a service for those who wanted a more quiet or sombre occasion.

Dointhedo was immaculately presented (of course, we didn’t see inside the wheelhouse…) , clean, comfortable, and a smooth ride; the gunwale doors made embarking and disembarking easy.

They even went as far as providing a water bowl for the dog, we simply could not have been better looked-after.

Providing the perfect way to commit the ashes of the departed to the sea, we cater to all religious and non-religious needs. We are pleased to share the latest feedback from two lovely brothers who were committing their mother's ashes to the sea, following their Hindu religious traditions. The chosen area featured deep, fast-running water, fulfilling the specific requirements of their Hindu faith:

A Perfect Day For Placing Ashes at Sea
Jun 2024 • Family
I was really impressed with my initial contact with Dave. Dave was very thoughtful, respectful, kind and a pleasure to speak to. I was given very good advise with regards to:
(1) Choosing water urns
(2) Transferring the ashes to the urn
(3) Ensuring the urn was good quality and fit for purpose
(4) Choosing flower petals
(5) The depth and flow of the water
(6) Travel directions
(7) Details of what the day would entail
(8) Personal questions I had with regards to the day

All of the above showed me that Dave really cared and placed great importance in ensuring my day was fulfilled.

On the day, we met Dave and his crewmate and they were both a pleasure to meet and were very welcoming, accommodating, kind and thoughtful. They always ensured we were comfortable on the boat, offered refreshments and were engaging.

Dave and his crewmate were very respectful of our time and space during the placing of the ashes into the water. We never felt rushed and were able to really take in the moment.

After the ceremony Dave provided some good recommendations for places to visit and we took the opportunity to visit the Gunwharf Quays Designer Outlet near the Spinnaker Tower where we had some refreshments and a lovely Ice Cream at the Lindt chocolate shop.

Thanks again to Dave and his crewmate at "Dointhedo" for a perfect day.
