About Us

Our Friendly & Caring Service

f
We offer a friendly and caring service and we welcome all religions and also guests who prefer not to have a religious ceremony. For your ashes scattering we take family and friends onto the beautiful River Avon on our heated cruising boat, The Rita Ellen.
f
The Avon rises near Rugby and joins the River Severn at Tewkesbury and then flows into the sea.
Your loved ones ashes may be scattered in a peaceful and pretty spot some distance away from the busy Stratford upon Avon town centre. You may scatter ashes with or without a religious ceremony. We respect your choice. We offer a selection of music and devotional prayers which can be played on your private charter. Or you can bring your own music on an iPhone or Android mobile phone. Flowers, paper petals, paper boats, bio-degradable water urns made of salt, sand or handmade paper may be floated on the river. If the urn is a tube, plastic or cardboard we will look after it when you leave. Plastic bags, or cardboard scattering tubes cannot be put in the river as they do not biodegrade and are dangerous for the environment, wildlife and boats.

Our Boat & Our Service
Over the years we have taken time to understand religions and cultures, so our service is personal. The Rita Ellen is a lovely vessel. The cabin is enclosed and heated with glass windows. The tables are decorated with vases of fresh flowers. We have a wheelchair lift from the mooring to the cabin so that guests who use a wheelchair, or would prefer not to use the steps, can come onboard safely and in comfort.

”The service they provided was exceptional and the boat was above and beyond our expectations!!”
