Capt. Ken Middleton is at the helm.  Over 30 years ago, I sailed over from the West Coast and started up Hawaii Ash Scatterings. Our Ohana's goal from the beginning was to provide the very best in private charters for clients from all over the world. 


Our islands' perfect weather is ideal for boating and cruising in comfort year-round, and coupled with unsurpassed beauty and allure, incredible marine life, and neighbors full of ALOHA, it truly is Paradise.  Please be assured that my staff and I are here to assist you during a tough time and deliver comfort and closure to the loss of your loved one.  Our A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau lets you know that we are here to serve you.


30+ years of continuous licensed and insured service in the State of Hawaii have permitted us to take care of thousands of grieving families with their different needs, budgets, and expectations.  With our ash scattering services available statewide, you can choose the Island most meaningful to your family.

Grief Support


Each person handles the loss of a loved one in their own unique way, yet we all experience shared emotions as we heal. While the grieving process is deeply personal, feelings of sadness, longing, and even anger are common as we move through the stages of recovery.
