​Living Reef Memorial
​An ecological alternative to traditional burial creating a living legacy of love, life, and dignity.

Living Reef Memorial

Imagine your loved one's ashes becoming part of a natural ecosystem that supports fish and other sea life for years to come!
​

Here we present a brief overview of the reef process:

Creating the Living Reef

Creating the Living Reef

The Ashes of the deceased are lovingly transformed into a scientifically engineered artificial reef.  Skilled craftsmen use crushed sea shells, sand, and ocean friendly concrete to cast each unique reef memorial. The casting and installation of your reef memorial is videotaped to ensure authenticity.  The footage is professionally edited to share with family and friends  

Living Reef Deployment

Professional mariners transport the reef memorial by boat to one of three permitted deployment locations. Once a reef memorial has been installed onto the sea floor a beautiful and natural transformation occurs.  After a short time the reef becomes colonized and blooms with abundance of life. Reef memorials are a permanent structure that grows over time and will ensure that the next generation will live on a healthier planet. The exact GPS location of each reef memorial is documented and is provided to loved ones. ​​

The Living Reef Deployent
Here is an Eternal Reef with sea life growing all around it. IT is a new ocean habitat that houses their loved one's ashes.

How to Start Planning

Thes can be delivered in person or via the mail. From the moment we receive the ashes we employ a Positive Chain of Custody procedure. This means that the entire process is documented and videotaped for authenticity.
It takes a week once we receive the cremains to prepare the paperwork and to cast the reef memorial. It takes no less than thirty days for the reef to cure.
​
Viewing the deployment of your reef memorial can be done in person or by watching the video we provide.  If you wish to make the voyage to the deployment site we can assist you in arranging an appropriate charter.
Reef memorial prices range is as low as $600.00 to $4,000.00.  Payment plans are offered at zero interest and can be as low as $50.00 per month.
