Welcome aboard

We welcome you on our ship Luna Azul, an original fishing cutter from 1951, after which we accompany you to our warm, spacious reception room. This is a nice place to place your urn, where we wait with a cup of coffee or tea until everyone is on board, and you can meet the hostess who will accompany the funeral.If you have specific wishes, we are happy to accommodate them and take all the time needed for these. After the reception, we go to our spacious outdoor accommodation, where there is a respectful place for your urn with rope and you can also place your flowers.

Ceremony

Here you will be introduced to the captain of the ship. The captain will hang the national flag at half-mast. He will take your loved one to the final resting place, following maritime traditions. After sailing to the place, the scattering or interment will take place.  During the trip there will be plenty of time for personal farewell words, special wishes, and a moment of silence around the urn. The ash scattering or interment will take place. After this, the floral greeting is delivered, the captain will make the rounds around the final resting place and sound the ship’s horn as a tribute.  The remains are contained in the infinity of the sea.

The return trip

The country flag is raised. You have now experienced the freedom of worldwide seas and oceans. A cherished memory. We calmly sail back to the pick-up point. After which you can talk to your loved ones in our reception room, enjoy your favorite snacks or drinks, based on consultation with what you prefer.
