Do we need an urn?

No urn is needed. Ashes can be scattered directly into the water if that is your preference.

However, an appropriate urn will remove the possibility of a wind gust potentially blowing ashes back towards the boat. This is not common but winds are known to shift and that risk (although small) does exist.

The majority of our customers arrive with their own biodegradable urn. You are welcome to bring/use any urn designed to be released into the water.

In either case, we will always have a standard biodegradable urn on board just in case its needed.
