We can not do anything on our own. All of life is an interaction. Often, though, we may not realise we need that little bit of extra help, support, encouragement or someone to be our witness to our fears and pains. From this understanding, we are sharing our support network with you so you can find the business or person to help you through this phase of life. It isn't weakness that asks for help but courage.
We'd like to invite you to contact the person or business and discuss your needs with them.

Ashes Scattering at Sea: A Meaningful Farewell
The scattering of ashes at sea is a deeply personal and meaningful way to honour a loved one, especially for those connected to the ocean. We create a unique and respectful ceremony arranging the vessel and creating a peaceful and intimate space for family and friends to gather in remembrance.
This heartfelt ceremony allows you to bid farewell in a way that symbolises an eternal journey as the tides carry their ashes to the end of time.
Consider sharing the moments with the annual whale migration, adding a magical, breathtaking, and symbolic presence that will make their farewell even more profound and unforgettable.
Memorable Keepsakes
Each family receives a Remembrance Scroll signed by our captain detailing the scattering location's date, time, and exact coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Booking & Availability
As these services are highly personal, they are not scheduled regularly but arranged at a time that best suits your family’s needs.
At Sunshine Coast Afloat, we understand the significance of this moment and are honoured to provide a serene and dignified farewell at sea.
