Scattering Ashes At Sea - Farewells on the Forth

Saying goodbye on the water is a truly peaceful and meaningful way to honour a loved one. We are incredibly proud to offer families the opportunity to scatter ashes at sea on the beautiful Firth of Forth, beneath the iconic Forth bridges — a setting that feels calm, dignified and unforgettable.


Working in partnership with WetWheels Foundation Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Marine Academy - based at Port Edgar Marina in South Queensferry, we provide a fully supported and personalised experience. Your family and friends will travel together on a chartered boat with full disabled access, sailing under the bridges until we reach the ideal spot for your farewell.


Every ceremony can be tailored to your wishes. You may choose to say a few words, play music that feels meaningful, or simply take a quiet moment together as the biodegradable urn is placed into the water to drift peacefully away.


Our ashes-scattering trips run from March to October, last around one hour, and can accommodate up to 12 passengers. We are always happy to discuss any specific requirements to ensure the ceremony feels just right for you and your family.
