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.

Your Experience at a Memorial Gathering

Participate in a multi-day Memorial Gathering featuring the dedication of a Memorial Reef and Celebration of Life events.

Day 1- Jewel Making Ceremony
Gather with family and friends to inter your loved ones cremated remains within a Memorial Reef. Add small personal items, photos, or seashells to the memorial during this ceremony, provided they are nontoxic or biodegradable materials. Make rubbings of the bronze plaque as keepsakes and add personal chalk messages to the exterior of the memorial. The Jewel Making Ceremony is a two-hour event. Light refreshments are provided.

Stone urn option: You have the option to place the cremated remains within a stone urn rather than mixed in concrete. Some families prefer this for religious reasons. Either way, the stone urn or concrete jewel are permanently affixed to the interior of the memorial.

Day 2 - Free Time
On the second day you are free to experience the area, relax, and enjoy yourself.

Day 3 – Dedication and Celebration of Life
Board a chartered vessel to witness the placement of the Memorial Reef into the Undersea Memorial Garden as loved ones cast flowers over the site and say words of remembrance.
