Saying goodbye to a loved one is one of life’s most personal moments. At Thames Party Boats, we provide a serene and dignified ash-scattering ceremony on the River Thames, offering families a peaceful and meaningful way to honour someone special.
Set against the tranquil waters and timeless London landmarks, our private vessel offers a calm, private space for reflection, remembrance and celebration of life.
This is a moment to pause, connect and remember — and we are here to support you with empathy and care throughout the journey.
