Gone Sailing Adventures provides a means of releasing cremated remains onto the sea. We provide a compassionate way of ensuring that ashes scattered at sea are done in a legal, respectful and orderly manner.

 

With our scattering services at sea, family brings their loved one's ashes, aboard our luxury, licensed yacht and then set off for waters just south of Toronto.  Once there, friends and family may perform a service as they please – with music, a clergy-led memorial, or individual reflections. As a part of the service, we provide a simple maritime tradition whereby the yacht makes a figure eight; first counter clockwise remembering the life lived and then clockwise to represent that time continues to move forward. While completing the symbol of infinity the ships bell will ring eight times, signifying the end of the watch, as one final token of respect and farewell to the departed.

 

We can provide a Certificate of Sea Scattering containing the exact location where the cremains were released. This way, families may revisit the site whenever they wish and pay their respects to their loved one.

 

Sails are only available for attended services and revisiting of the memorial site. Let us know your specific service needs, and we will accommodate them. You’re assured that your loved one's final journey is complete.
