Scattering of ashes at sea

Scattering of ashes at sea in Helsinki and Espoo

Scattering of ashes at sea is a beautiful and dignified way to say goodbye to a loved one

Scattering of ashes at sea is a beautiful way of burial that is highly valued these days. Scattering of ashes at sea is also a more affordable alternative to a traditional burial service, as there will for example be no grave maintenance costs. By the sea, it is always possible to take a moment of silence and remember the departed loved one. Our service for scattering ashes at sea operates in both Helsinki and Espoo areas.

The scattering of ashes at sea is done in a peaceful place next to Abrahaminluoto

We will travel to the place where the ashes are scattered, next to Abrahaminluoto, in a dignified manner past spectacular maritime sites. The scattering place is next to the outer islets, a few miles towards the sea from Suomenlinna.

During the scattering, the captain will steer the boat forward slowly or we will be anchored in place, taking the direction of the wind into account. The scattering is done by sprinkling the ash in the sea, or alternatively we also offer sinkable urns. A recommended and beautiful practice is to throw flowers or petals in the water.
