"Today’s environmentally-conscious people are thinking of ways to stay green even after they’re gone.
Eternal Reefs is putting a new spin on the at-sea burial by offering an environmentally-friendly alternative to cremation and traditional cemetery burials.
The company offers a way to have a memorial and help out the environment at the same time, by creating a memorial reef that contains the ashes of the deceased.
The memorial reefs are known as “reef balls.” They are constructed by mixing cremated remains with liquid concrete, which is put into mold in order to create the reef ball.
The reef ball is placed alongside other reef balls to create an artificial reef that provides a habitat for sea life.
Within a few weeks, marine life will begin to take hold in the artificial reef, which will look like a natural reef within a few months. It creates a living legacy that is a unique way to memorialize someone who has passed."

Save the cement and the carbon emissions from cremation, just dump me straight into the ocean and straight back into the food chain. Minus any organs anyone can still use of course.
That's clever. We spend all that money on funerals and just get a party and a small sanctified piece of dirt. Better to get something useful out of it.
You could be put at ya fav reef break and then your mates could remember you by having great sessions surfing a break you have actually part of
