Reef is deployed
Reefs are placed in over fished areas where they are needed most and barren sea floors where habitats are needed.
Preserve cremation
Cremated remains are eternally preserved within a scientifically engineered artificial reef designed to be forever permanent and vital to the success of this marine habitat rehabilitation project
Marine life flourishes
Not long after the reef is installed onto the sea floor a beautiful and natural transformation occurs. The reef begins to grow and bloom with life as hundreds of species of marine life attach themselves to the reef.
Reefs are handcrafted with care
Reefs are individually hand crafted using natural sea shells, sand, ash, and a bit of ocean friendly concrete. After a thirty day curing period the reefs are loaded onto boats for the journey to the deployment area, weather permitting.
Cherish and remember
Cherish and celebrate your loved one, knowing that they will continue on by giving back to the ocean for eternity.
