SERENITY AT SEA can accommodate both attended or unattended scatterings.

  • Attended Ceremony:
  • Family and/or friends accompany the remains aboard the vessel to the scattering site.
  • Our main boat can take 6 passengers and is berthed at "The Dana" resort in Mission Bay San Diego.
  • We have many boats available for larger size parties.
  • Time from departure to return to the dock, lasts usually about one hour, including the memorial ceremony.
  • The trip is for you and can be customized as you would like.
  • I prepare a basket for the remains and cover them with flowers (so the wind doesn't blow them all over). After the ashes are lowered by a line, the flowers then float on the water giving the ceremony a beautiful effect.
  • The exact coordinates of the scattering site will be provided in case a revisit is desired.
  • All inclusive price for a local scattering of 6 passengers or less is $415.

Cut Flowers and Flower Wreaths: These adornments may be added at your discretion, Prices vary, depending upon the arrangement desired.

Flowers add a whole new beautiful dimension to the ceremony by extending the length of time of the ceremony. Rose petals and other cut flowers are best scattered with the ashes, this provides are beautiful backdrop for ash scattering.

A really nice addition to the ceremony is a floating urn. The urn will float about 3-5 minutes before settling slowly beneath the waves.

Urns are available through Serenity at Sea for prices between $100.00 and $250.00 depending upon which model is selected. Please use the link below for the "passages" earth urn web site.
