There's a company that turns dead bodies into an ocean reef.

For those who romanticize a burial at sea, the company Eternal Reefs offers an innovative solution. It mixes the cremated remains of a person with concrete to create a "pearl" onto which loved ones can etch personal messages, handprints, or (environmentally friendly) mementos. The pearl is then encased in a "reef ball" that is dropped into the sea, where it provides a new habitat for fish and other sea life, helping encourage a vibrant ecosystem. The circle of life at work!​

Hello everyone! I think that’s a fascinating way to give back to the environment! It’s like turning a final farewell into a gift for marine life .

I never heard of that before! It’s amazing how creative people are with memorializing loved ones while helping save marine life. I'm just curious if many people support Eternal Reefs.
