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.
