Boats in Scotland - Scattering Ashes

Loch Lomond: Sterling

Scattering ashes over Loch Lomond

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	With regards to the seating capacity our boats can accommodate a maximum of 7 passengers per boat [8 persons including our driver] but we do have 4 boats available and so we often provide this service for large groups up to a maximum of 28 persons. With large groups we would therefore send multiple boats out to travel together, 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 water ceremony set which includes a water urn, flower petals for scattering, Promises – dissolvable notelets for scattering with the ashes, a certificate to record the ceremony, *and our award winning (and rated 5 on Amazon) guide book: follow the link – 4th Ceremony Set**
Cost	£60 for 30mins £100 for the hour
Company comments	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
