The sailing yacht Izenah III offshore, on a calm sea

Memorial at sea

A moment of remembrance on the open water

Some moments call for silence, the horizon and intimacy. Izenah III can welcome your family for a memorial at sea, in a dignified and peaceful setting. The yacht is privately chartered, the skipper adapts to your pace, and nothing is rushed. We are here to accompany you with discretion.

The intimacy of a private yacht

The yacht is reserved solely for your family. No strangers on board, no outside eyes. You are among your loved ones, in a setting that naturally invites reflection.

Time adapted to your pace

The skipper sails offshore in silence. There is no fixed programme, no time constraint. The ceremony takes place when you are ready, in your own way, with all the time you need.

A straightforward legal framework

The scattering of ashes at sea is permitted under French law, subject to certain distance and declaration requirements. The immersion of a biodegradable urn is also possible. Your funeral director can assist with the administrative steps.
