About the Ocean Scattering Plan
Tokyo Bay Plan
You can rent the boat exclusively and say your final farewells with just your family and close friends.
Hawaii Plan
Sagami Bay Plan
We will charter a boat for a small ceremony on Oahu, Hawaii. A director of ocean scattering from Japan will accompany you.
Sagami Bay Plan
We will travel to the scattering point on a SUP and hold the ceremony. You can spend your farewell time in a slightly different style.
For those who are unable to scatter the ashes on board for various reasons, Yokohama Ocean Ashes will scatter the ashes on your behalf. The scattering ceremony will be shared live and recorded on the day.
About scattering of ashes of multiple pillars
For pet owners who have multiple remains to be memorialized at home, we have special pricing available for requests for multiple remains.
Price List
▼Pet ashes scattering service▼
Only pets from the same family are allowed. The names of multiple pets can be listed on one certificate for scattering at sea. (We do not accept requests from businesses.)
If you would like to have multiple piles of ashes scattered in a private setting, a joint setting, or a SUP setting, please contact us separately.
Transportation of remains
◉ご遺骨のオフィスへのお持ち込みはお断りしています。
For all plans, the remains can be sent in advance by mail, or staff can come to collect them (paid option).
Suppliers and price list
It is not illegal to mail cremated remains, and the process of requesting a delivery company to send the remains by mail and then holding a memorial service is called "sending bones."
The only courier that can send cremated remains within Japan is Japan Post. Please send it by "Yu-Pack".
Shipping fees vary depending on weight, size, distance, etc. (Example: Hokkaido to Kanto / 25 kg or less x total of 3 sides less than 60 cm, shipping fee is 1,280 yen.)

When packing, it is important to make sure that the ashes do not spill and that the urn does not break. If you simply pack the urn containing the ashes into a box for mailing and send it, the lid of the urn may open and the ashes may spill out, or the urn may break due to the impact during mailing. Please pack the ashes carefully.
Disposal of urns
If the urn is made of a fragile material such as ceramic, glass, or plaster and packaging it would be difficult, we recommend transferring the ashes into a bag and sending it by mail.
Urns can be disposed of as general waste (non-combustible garbage) along with plates and other ceramic items.
If the urn is small, we recommend simply disposing of it in a garbage bag, but for urns over 20cm in height, we recommend crushing them into small pieces before disposing of them.
Grinding procedure
After wrapping the urn in newspaper, place it in a thick bag. Put on gloves and safety glasses, cover it with a towel, and crush it with a hammer.

Packaging points
Secure the urn lid with duct tape or plastic wrap. *There are urn lids that open easily by lifting them up, and locking lids that cannot be removed without turning them. If the urn lid is not a locking lid, be sure to secure it with duct tape or similar to prevent it from opening.
Place the urn with the lid secured in a plastic bag.
Put cushioning material in the shipping box.
*Newspaper or bubble wrap will do, but it's a good idea to put in towels or something similar to absorb the water.
If you place a towel underneath and securely surround the urn with newspaper or something similar, you won't have to worry about the ashes spilling out.On the Yu-Pack shipping slip, write "remains" in the item name column.
There are also companies that sell items necessary for mailing ashes. (Example: Ashes Mailing Kit) )
