Testimonials

I love the ocean, and never liked the idea of a traditional burial. We take so much out of this planet, I'd love to be able to give something back, even such a small thing as helping create a reef with my remains. When my father died, I didn't like the idea of visiting him at the cemetery. I keep his memory close to my heart, and think of him frequently. What more of a memorial does he need. I wish these eco-friendly options had been available, I think he would have liked them.S. Lloyd

My husband was the one who actually pointed me off to your web site. I immediately thought it was a wonderful concept. We both enjoy SCUBA diving and it will be a wonderful resting-place while helping to build an artificial reef.A. Mullen

My husband was an avid fisherman and we had planned to scatter his remains in one of his favorite fishing spots, but this seems like a much better alternative. I am in possession of the information you sent me and will review it with my children when they visit this weekend. They are all for it.Suzanne M.

Thank you for the respect, honor and dignity you shared with Lee's cremains and me. I can not envision a finer way for us to have parted.Lynne Lamb Bryant

This is A WONDERFUL service, which provides so much peace of mind to all involved, plus provides such a wonderful way of helping the environment, and providing increased awareness of environmental concerns regarding the oceans, and the coral reefs. Bless you and all concerned for this splendid project !!!!Robert Jackson

I thought we would get my three kids together and we would sprinkle their father’s ashes in the ocean. But this is doing it in a more identifiable fashion, where the kids can actually see where he is. Not in a mausoleum or Arlington Cemetery, but outdoors.K. Aronson

What a wonderful idea! Both my wife and I have decided to be cremated when we die and to have our ashes placed into a Reef Ball is just icing on the cake. The idea of our remains helping to create new habitat for fish/wildlife fills me with joy. We both love the outdoors and are concerned about environmental and conservation issues so this fits our ideals perfectly.K. Turner

I've always told my family that when my time comes I want to be cremated, as to not waste any additional land space for a glorified box to hold my remains. Now, I will add that I want to become part of a reef ball too.Ken Diamond

It was a pleasure being with you during the boat ride. Thank you for being so caring and making the day so much easier. The ceremony was beautiful and I know I did do the right thing for my loved ones.Rose Kovacs

When I heard about Eternal Reefs, we didn’t know what to do with my mother’s ashes. She always thought about the ocean since she was brought up in Atlantic City, and it just seemed like a great way to memorialize her. She was a hard worker who loved to cook and spend time by the sea. It’s a nice way of moving on.D. Schlatter

My family grew up and was raised on the Chesapeake Bay and in the Outer Banks in N. C., so I guess you could say we are “beach people”, and it seems to be a great way to help out the environment and be remembered at the same time.VR T. Sechman
