Your choice
You may hold your ceremony with or without a priest, minister or celebrant.
A private charter
Your cruise is for you, family and friends only.
Refreshments
We offer a lovely cup of Masala tea, Yorkshire tea, freshly-brewed coffee, also fruit tea, soft drinks all with a selection of egg-free biscuits for £4.00pp.
Your ceremony
Out into the countryside
Your ceremony will be at a pretty spot away from the busy Stratford town centre. The cruise lasts around 75-90 minutes.
The Warwickshire Avon rises in Naseby village, near Rugby, then flows through Leicestershire & Northamptonshire, past Coventry, Leamington Spa & Warwick and then Stratford upon Avon. The Avon joins the River Severn at Tewkesbury and then flows into the sea.

Faith & Customs
Sikh shabads & Hindu prayers
Over the years we have taken time to understand religions and cultures, so our service is personal. We have Sikh shabads and Hindu prayers & mantras that can play on your cruise. Alternatively you can bring your own music to play through our Bluetooth speakers.
Testimonials
I would like to say a big thank you to Fiona for making what was a sad occasion and farewell to our loved one truly special.
