Scattering Tubes & Water Burials

SCATTERING TUBE & WATER BURIAL CREMATION URN - A MEMORABLE FAREWELL

When it comes to honoring a loved one, many families choose a memorial option that allows for a more personal, meaningful farewell. Cremation scattering tubes and water burial pillows offer unique ways to scatter or release ashes, providing families with beautiful, peaceful ways to say goodbye.

Cremation Scattering Tubes

Designed for ease and elegance, scattering tubes are a simple, yet dignified, way to release a loved one’s ashes. Available in a variety of sizes, designs, and materials, these tubes are perfect for a scattering ceremony in a meaningful location, whether it’s a favourite park, garden, or beach.

  • Simplicity and Ease: Scattering tubes are easy to use, with a secure, airtight seal to ensure the ashes remain contained until you’re ready to release them.

  • A Personal Touch: Choose from a range of designs, from natural, rustic finishes to more decorative and colorful options. Many tubes are designed with a thoughtful opening mechanism that allows for a gentle, controlled release.

  • Perfect for a Ceremony: Whether you’re planning an intimate family gathering or a larger memorial, scattering tubes provide a respectful way to honor a life in a setting that was meaningful to your loved one.

Water Burial Pillows

For those who prefer a water burial, water burial pillows offer a beautiful, eco-friendly option for scattering ashes. These biodegradable pillows are designed to float on the water before gently sinking, releasing the ashes in a serene and peaceful manner as the pillow completely breaks down.

  • Eco-Friendly: Made from natural, biodegradable materials, these pillows dissolve over time, leaving no trace behind in the water, making them an environmentally conscious choice.

  • Peaceful and Poignant: Perfect for a serene lake, river, or ocean setting, water burial pillows offer a peaceful final resting place for your loved one’s remains, creating a beautiful and symbolic connection to nature.

  • Easy to Use: Simply place the water burial pillow on the surface of the water. As it begins to dissolve, the ashes are slowly released, creating a quiet and reflective moment for family and friends.

Both cremation scattering tubes and water burial pillows provide meaningful, personal ways to say goodbye and celebrate the life of a loved one. Whether you’re seeking a traditional scattering ceremony or an eco-friendly water burial, these options offer a respectful, tranquil, and symbolic final tribute.

Scattering Ashes at Sea with VMR Southport

For many years, VMR Southport has been offering a special service to our community—one that is a little different from traditional funeral options: the scattering of ashes at sea. This service can be arranged by family or friends of the deceased, or, in some cases, it can even be pre-arranged, much like the pre-payment of a funeral.

As more families spread across towns, cities, and even countries, traditional practices like visiting a family grave on a Sunday afternoon are becoming less common. For those who have a deep connection with the sea, however, a sea burial or ashes scattering at sea is increasingly seen as a meaningful and fitting tribute—a peaceful, final gesture in a place of personal significance.

The idea of a sea burial or ash scattering is especially poignant for those who loved or felt a strong connection to the ocean. It offers families a refreshing alternative to more traditional memorials, with the beauty of nature as a serene and lasting tribute.

VMR Southport offers a professional and respectful dispersal service just inside the Gold Coast Seaway. This location ensures that weather and tidal conditions are manageable, allowing for a smooth and serene ceremony. For those who wish to have the ashes scattered in the open ocean, they can accommodate that request as well.

Family and friends are welcome to join VMR Southport on their Rescue vessels for the ceremony. Depending on the number of guests, multiple vessels can be arranged to ensure everyone can be part of the moment. Whether you’re looking for a small, intimate gathering or a larger ceremony, they are able to provide a meaningful experience.
