Ocean Funeral


Are you living in Queensland and faced with the difficult decision of planning a funeral? So many delicate decisions must be taken into consideration when planning the


celebration of a loved one’s life, and at Newhaven Funerals we understand that you deserve options. That’s why we offer ocean funerals and are the only funeral home in Queensland to assist you to scatter ashes of loved ones at sea.


Newhaven Funerals on the beautiful Gold Coast has the ability to increase the level of


service and care provided. Company director and Captain Phil Connolly insists the response has been overwhelming. “We have the ability to expose people to an experience that has


previously not existed. This experience allows people to detach themselves from the day to day hustle and bustle and contemplate the simplicity of life”.


During the memorial service, family members are encouraged to scatter a portion of the ashes into the sea. Individual flower petals mix with the ashes and are disbursed with the ocean currents. A GPS position can be advised if requested.


Is a Sea Scattering the Right Fit?


When planning Queensland funerals, we have certified funeral directors who are on call 24 hours a day to meet your needs. They will give you your options and help you determine if an ocean ceremony is the right fit for you and your loved ones to celebrate the life that has been lost. If you enjoy nature, peaceful settings and the calming sound of the sea, it may be a fitting option to consider.


Imagine a sea scattering as a freeing and beautiful experience where your loved one will


remain in the ecosystem and be returned to nature. Water is the basis of life, and the setting breathes a necessary life into one of the most difficult days for many families; it really is a beautiful and strong option. We understand that it is not for everyone, so if you are unsure and would like more information on our services to scatter ashes, dont hesitate to contact one of our crematoriums in your area, or phone us on 1800 644 524.
