Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences we face in our lives. A funeral reception gives friends and family the chance to support each other, share stories and memories, and celebrate the life of someone they deeply cared about. Our team are fully experienced to help you plan a dignified and respectful celebration of life or funeral wake aboard the Sabrina . You may also wish to say goodbye to your loved one with an ashes scattering ceremony which we can also handle on board.
A Celebration of Life on the River Severn
A funeral reception is a time of remembrance, be that a pause for a moment of reflection or a joyous occasion where you can share fond memories with family and friends. A funeral wake or ashes ceremony aboard Sabrina is perfectly suited to a celebration of life whether it be religious or humanist.
Our main focus is to make the whole experience as comfortable as possible for all on board our spacious venue. Three decks provide ample room within a peaceful location as we slowly travel down the serine River Severn. It’s a beautiful backdrop for family members and those that knew the departed to gather together and say farewell.
