A Gentle Goodbye: Ash Scatterings on the River
At Sabrina Boat, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is one of life’s most personal and emotional moments. For families looking for a peaceful, meaningful setting to scatter ashes, the River Severn offers a timeless and natural space to reflect and remember.
A Setting of Calm and Comfort
The gentle flow of the water, the birdsong from the riverbanks, the soft golden light as the boat cruises through the heart of Shrewsbury—these moments create the perfect backdrop for remembrance. Our ash scattering cruises offer privacy, dignity and compassion at a time when it matters most.
Make Sabrina your boat for this important occasion, and know that your farewell is in safe hands. We’re honoured to host these moments and do all we can to ensure they’re carried out with the respect and care they deserve.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet, intimate farewell with close family, or a larger celebration of life with stories, photos and shared memories, we can tailor the cruise to suit your wishes.
What to Expect
- Private hire of Sabrina with time and space to reflect
- A dedicated crew who understand the importance of the moment
- Opportunities for readings, music, or a toast to their life
- Option to work with celebrants or spiritual leaders
Many families choose to place flowers on the river alongside the ashes as a final farewell. Our crew can advise you on everything from timings to river regulations.
Here for You
Every ash scattering cruise is treated with sensitivity, respect, and care. We know this is more than just a boat trip – it’s a memory in the making. We’re here to guide and support you through the planning, so you can focus on what truly matters.
If you’d like to talk through options or ask questions, our team is always here.
Let Sabrina be your boat for this farewell—a peaceful space to say goodbye, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.
