Frequently Asked Questions
The Scattering of Ashes at Sea is a dignified service offered by Paradiso Yacht Charters, focusing on creating respectful ocean ceremonies in Newport Beach. We provide both witnessed and unwitnessed scattering options, allowing for personalized tributes to your loved ones.
In a witnessed ceremony, family and friends join us aboard the Paradiso yacht for a cherished experience. Each guest scatters a long-stem rose at sea, while families are provided with a certificate acknowledging the name of the deceased, ceremony date, and scattering coordinates.
Unwitnessed memorials cater to those unable to attend. During this service, the Captain performs a farewell reading and scatters the ashes at sea, often accompanied by flowers. Families receive a certificate honoring both human and pet remains, allowing for remembrance from any location.
We offer various enhancements to personalize the ceremony. Options include a Military Honor Guard tribute, a Bagpipe Performance, and a Dove Release for symbolic gestures. We also provide complimentary live streaming service for family and friends who cannot attend in person.
Our services are available across Newport Beach, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and San Diego, covering both Orange and Los Angeles Counties, ensuring that families throughout Southern California receive our compassionate memorial services.
