Memorial Gatherings - a Multi-Day Celebration of Life
What is a Memorial Reef?
Honor a life with a unique final resting place. A Memorial Reef holds cremated remains in an undersea artificial reef monument designed to support and restore marine life for centuries to come. The cremated remains form the core “jewel” affixed inside the Memorial Reef monument. It includes a custom bronze marker with an epitaph.
The textured surface attracts coral polyps, and the hollow interior provides shelter for marine organisms.
Memorial Reefs are Available in Two Sizes

Atlantis Memorial Reef
