Maritime Committals

Commit loved ones to the sea with dignity

As part of our purpose to be a community-minded organisation, we offer committal journeys within Poole Harbour to scatter ashes.

Many people wish to have their ashes scattered at sea when they pass away. We offer tasteful maritime committal trips to scatter ashes for up to four people.

If you choose a committal service with MVS Poole, we will provide a boat and qualified crew to transport your group to the agreed scattering area, within Poole Harbour.

After the end of the service, we will send a Certificate of Committal detailing the position where the ashes were scattered.

We can also organise future anniversary or memorial trips to the same position after the event.

Key information

Our boats are well equipped for the trip.

The vessel will be commanded by a trained skipper and crew.

There is no charge for the service, but we do ask for a donation.

We will discuss and arrange the ceremony to meet your needs.
