Just to let you know that we used your service at Kingston on the 23rd August and would like to say that we were very extremely pleased with the service. Darren was very helpful with all the arrangements and was very patient answering my phone calls and texts which I’m afraid were many! The service was up to the highest standard from start to finish. John was very caring, considerate and didn’t rush us at all. On behalf of all my family I’d like to say a huge thank you. Many thanksDina.

Scattering Ashes Kingston and Richmond
Excellent, knew all about the hindu process and what was required.
A very professional and sensitive crew (John and Jim) who looked after my family as we scattered our father’s ashes. I have no hesitation in highly recommending their service.
A memorable day for the whole family, a calm, sunny evening. Everyone embraced the trip with memories, music and a final farewell with colourful petals and red and cream roses. Darren was extremely kind and supportive, a friendly atmosphere. Thank You.
We were very impressed with Mr. Parr, his crew and his boat which was very clean and tidy. Mr. Parr was very polite & caring. His arrangements were perfect. He played some of our mum’s favourite songs on his PA system.
The boat was absolutely fine and was very comfortable.
