Scattering of Ashes
Ka’ena Point, Oahu, Hawaii’s most western point, is sacred and is said to be where your spirit leaves the island to the World beyond when you pass away. North Shore’s Haleiwa Harbor lies within minutes of the gentle currents that run down the coast and off the point of this spiritual highway. Often, along with the beautiful backdrop of the whole North Shore, we see Spinner Dolphins, Humpback Whales, Flying Fish, Seabirds, and rainbows to make the whole experience a bit more magical! There’s no better place to lay your loved ones to rest! Let us help bring peace and closure to your loved one, your family, and you!
Check Our Availability
We offer affordable, convenient trips on our quick and stable 25’ Zodiac for groups of up to 6 people and can accommodate larger groups of all sizes on request. Just let us know what your needs are, and we are here to help! We suggest booking one of our earlier morning trips when the water is more tranquil. If you would like a different time than is offered on our easy-to-book online calendar here on our website, then please reach out to us to discuss your options. If you would like a priest or someone to officiate the occasion, we can help with that too.
Remote Oahu Funeral Services
Another option we are now offering is remote services where if the journey out to Oahu, Hawaii isn’t feasible or too arduous to carry out yourself , let us help! Simply send your loved ones ashes to us and let us spread the ashes at a planned time to the ocean where you can join through a live or recorded video feed. It can be hard to coordinate large family events like this and this may be the perfect solution for you ! Send us a message or call to discuss this option. Again, we are to help!
North Shore Funeral at Sea: What to Expect
On the day of your trip out with us feel free to bring unstrung flowers to place in the water along with the ashes. If you need flowers for the ceremony, let us know and we can arrange to have some for you as well. We have a stereo onboard that you’re welcome to Bluetooth your music through and there’s plenty of free parking available at the harbor that we depart from.
A little more about the boat. Banzai is a 25’ Zodiac RIB ( rigid inflatable bottom ) boat that was originally built for tactical navy operations . Since then she went through a complete rebuild with added seating for your comfort. Quiet, fast, odor free Suzuki outboard motors were swapped out for the original diesel motor. A full boat canopy on a lightweight, anodized , aluminum frame was added for shade. New electronics and safety gear. The inflatable 5-chamber collar around the fiberglass hull makes her very stable. Simply said. You won’t get seasick and you will be comfortable!
