I would like to Thank the boat company for providing the boat to scatter my Father’s ashes at Windsor.It all went really smoothly & the crew was very helpful in our wishes to scatter the ashes in Hindu tradition.I would very much recommend the boat company for scattering ashes at Windsor.
I used this boat company for a Hindu scattering service. The captain and her colleague were respectful of our culture and religion and explained the process at the beginning.
Thanks to the boat company it was a truly memorable day. The staff were approachable with any questions we had and explained the process of scattering the ashes. I would recommend this service to people I know in the future.
Me and my family would like to thank you all for your wonderful service.
