RELIGIOUS / HUMANIST SUPPORT SERVICES ON THE DAY

We can arrange via our network connections a chosen Minister (may be an additional cost) for the family:  

  • Minister of the main Religions or Humanist - should your clients wish to have a service at the quay side prior to the boat departing.  
  • Often families prefer to hold such services prior to arrival at the boat  
  • Within sight of the committal area is Tennyson’s Monument on the Isle of Wight and often a family member will read his poem “Crossing the Bar”
