The Living Reef Memorial experience is an inspirational and healing one.  If choosing a reef for yourself or having to choose for someone else a Living Reef Memorial is a choice the entire family can be proud of.  These reefs go on to grow and bloom with an abundance of life. 

When viewing a reef being installed onto the sea floor, you not can help but imagine the abundance of life that is just beneath the waves.  The dolphins and schools of fish swimming by for the occasional hello.  The humpback and Blue whales that migrate through this site, often pass gently overhead.  The sea breaths with the gentle ebb and flow of the tides and life thrives.

Many of our clients tell us that becoming a part of this journey has been the most profound experience of their lives.  The peace and tranquility of the sea is mesmerizing and the sea is a healing place.

The following are the steps to be taken.
