| Location | Luss Pier, Loch Lomond |
| Area of operation | Loch Lomond |
| Type of boat | See above |
| Duration of trip | 30 Mins – 60 Mins – more if required |
| Capacity of boat | The boats can accommodate a maximum of 10 passengers per boat. Larger groups can be accommodated by using multiple boats. The boats will stop at the same place, switch the engines off and ‘raft up’ the boats side by side [or to stop at one of the islands] |
| Refreshments | Discuss with boat operator |
| Ceremony | Scattering ashes directly onto the water can lead to them being blown about which some families may find distressing.
We supply a wide range of urns specifically designed for water ceremonies. They are all 100% biodegradable and will dissolve in water – please follow the link: Water Urns We also supply a full water ceremony set to make your ceremony beautiful and dignified: Water Ceremony Set |

| Company comments | Usually 30 minutes should be sufficient time to cruise out and to find a nice scenic spot and to then stop and to switch the engines off for a few minutes and to then head back to Luss. If you have a specific location or viewpoint that you wanted to visit then the longer booking might be required and a longer trip would also provide the option to visit one of Loch Lomond’s many islands. |

Scattering ashes over Loch Lomond


Our family can’t thank Scattering Ashes and the Sterling Loch Lomond boat company from Luss Pier enough. Our skipper for the service, Nick, was excellent from start to finish and found us a calm part of the loch to scatter our parents ashes. The boat was perfect, the weather was perfect and all in all we think our parents would be very happy. Thanks again.
