Ashes Scattering at Sea
In Loving Memory of John Wright
28/04/1939 - 16/10/2024
At Merritt's of Midhurst, we are proud to offer a personal ashes scattering at sea service aboard our own vessel. For those who shared a special connection with the coast or the open water, a scattering at sea can provide a peaceful and fitting final farewell.
Unlike many providers, we personally undertake the scattering ourselves, ensuring every service is carried out with the utmost dignity, care and respect. Families are welcome to attend and share in this special moment, creating a meaningful tribute in a tranquil and natural setting. From the initial arrangements through to the scattering itself, our experienced team will guide and support you every step of the way.
