Golden Gate Bridge Ash Scattering
Offering Dignified, Affordable Memorial Services since 2002
The San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island and the Pacific Ocean have special meaning and a beautiful place to release ashes into the sea.
The Santa Cruz 50 – Bay Wolf is an excellent yacht for scattering ashes. She is stable and comfortable. There is plenty of room to move around and people enjoy the ride and the sights and sounds of San Francisco Bay. Setting the sails as we sail back under the Golden Gate Bridge has been a special occasion for many families and friends.
We also offer two other high-quality yachts, Osprey and Mahalo, a 50-foot boat, and 35-foot boat respectively. Osprey is spacious, beautiful and serene. Mahalo is a really nice boat that’s cost effective for small groups.
Ash scatterings typically take place in the morning, while the wind is light, which makes it easier to scatter ashes. However, we are flexible to your schedule.
We will often combine the ash scattering with a sailing tour of the bay. Our guests have found this combined approach makes the whole event more memorable and enjoyable. Families appreciate that the ashes are scattered from a fine sailing yacht and feel this type of ceremony is very appropriate.
We are licensed with the California State Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (Lic # CRD878). We will handle all of the required paperwork and filings.
