Reef enthusiasts and ocean lovers now have another final resting place to call home. In addition to the Neptune Memorial Reef a person may now be laid to rest in a Reef Ball. A company called Reef Innovations is constructing artificial reef balls as part of their Eternal Reefs program. The way this works is that the cremated remains of a loved one are used in the cement mixture of a reef ball. This item is given a final resting place in a semi-protected marine area. Family and friends are encouraged to participate in the process, and can even leave hand prints in the structure. Full funeral arrangements, flowers, plaques, and even military honors are part of the process. For more information read here.
