Planning Your Ash Scattering Ceremony in Maui: Common Questions

  • Yes. However, it must be done in accordance with regulations. We ensure all our ceremonies are fully compliant.

  • Generally, no formal permit is needed for small, private ash scatterings in Hawaii.

  • When flying, the TSA requires that ashes be in a container made of a lightweight material that can be X-rayed (such as wood, plastic, or cardboard). We recommend carrying the remains in your carry-on luggage and keeping the official cremation certificate with you.

  • Description text goes hereThe outrigger canoe is a sacred part of Hawaiian history. Unlike a motorized boat, the canoe offers a quiet, intimate, and rhythmic connection to the ocean. Our ceremonies include traditional elements like the blowing of the conch shell and paddling three circles around the site to close the ceremony.

  • Description text goes Each traditional outrigger canoe comfortably fits 5 guests plus our crew. For larger groups, we can coordinate additional canoes to paddle out together, allowing the party to stay close during the service.

  • The entire experience typically takes about one hour. This includes the beachside introduction, the paddle out, the scattering service, and the return to shore.

  • We typically depart from South Kihei. Please inquire for information regarding a preferred location.

  • We find that the ocean conditions here are best in the early morning, usually around 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM, providing the most serene environment for your service.

  • We provide a basket of freshly picked, local Hawaiian flowers to spread. You are welcome to bring your own flowers or leis; however, out of respect for the marine environment, we ask that all strings be removed from leis before they are placed in the water.

  • Yes, you are welcome to take photos and videos during the ceremony. We also offer professional drone videography as an available add-on. This allows you to capture high-definition footage of the ceremony and the beautiful Maui coastline—a meaningful way to share the moment with family members who could not be present.

  • We recommend comfortable beach attire or light resort wear. Since you will be boarding a canoe from the shoreline, expect to get your feet and legs wet. Polarized sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen are also recommended for the morning sun.

  • To ensure availability for your preferred morning, we recommend booking as far in advance as possible. We require a deposit to hold the date, with the remaining balance due on the day of the service. Please contact us at (808) 269-1038 to inquire about availability.

  • Safety and the quality of your experience are our priorities. If the ocean conditions are unsafe or the weather is prohibitive, we will work with you to reschedule for the next available date. We recommend booking the ceremony early on during your stay in case of inclement weather.
