Ashes Scattering on the River Medway, Kent
Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. At Tiller & Wheel, we provide private ashes scattering boat trips on the River Medway, Kent aboard our historic Thames sailing barges to offer a dignified and memorable farewell.
A Personal and Respectful Farewell
Our sailing barges provide a peaceful and calm setting for families to gather and scatter ashes into the river. Each trip is private, unhurried, and tailored to your wishes. You may choose to scatter ashes directly into the water, use a biodegradable urn, or accompany them with flowers.
Private Boat Hire for Ashes Scattering
Your party will have exclusive use of the vessel and crew, ensuring privacy and support throughout. Our experienced skippers will quietly guide you to an appropriate location on the Medway.
Our rural base at Lower Halstow provides access to the beautiful saltmarshes of the lower Medway, or you may prefer the backdrop of the Historic Dockyard as an appropriate location.
Cost of an Ashes Scattering Service
The price for a private ashes scattering trip is £660 per barge, which includes the vessel, crew, and time on the water. Multiple barges are available, with each one carrying 12 passengers. Barges can raft together for ceremonies.
We are happy to provide quotes for catering, tailored to your requirements.
