Serenity have been sailing to the Farne Islands from Seahouses Harbour for years and can arrange ashes scattering as a private charter.

The Farne Islands are one of the richest wildlife habitats in Britain, known for grey seals, puffins and seabirds, with Bamburgh Castle and the Longstone lighthouse along the same stretch of coast. It is a fitting setting for anyone who loved this part of Northumberland.

Three of their vessels are winter coded, so trips can be arranged outside the summer season as well. Their skippers know the geography and history of the islands well, which families often find adds something to the day.
