25 September, 2004
25 September 2004Dream with the fishes: A Georgia company, Eternal Reefs, has fused memorials with sea conservation to make "reef balls": mixing cremation ashes with marine-grade concrete and forming an artificial reef, a home for fish and coral. Iver Peterson of The New York Times reports that the reef balls, which are hollow concrete cones with grapefruit-size holes, are normally bought by coastal states to create fish habitats offshore. The price of mixing the ashes into the reef balls generally ranges from $1,000 to $2,000, though it can reach up to $5,000, depending upon the model of reef ball chosen.
