That's a super neat idea. My only complaint is cost (although I've yet to know how much a service like this costs)... I just want to make sure when i perish... my funeral is as cheap as possible. No sense in spending additional money on me when I won't know any better :)

That is cool. Hey why not have a reef growing around you instead of rotting away in the ground. And all for around $1000. Not bad.

I wouldn't mind a coral reef being my final resting place.. that would actually be really cool. :)

I dive those waters all the time...Never knew there was someone in those reefballs...I have a new respect, and may find a better place to hook my anchor...(j/k, we try not to hook into the reef balls...)
They are great dives though...If anyone is ever in the area, let me know, I'll take you down...

I want to be sprinkled in my tank and then sucked out by my protein skimmer or even eaten by my fish..

This is in my backyard so to speak I live in Sarasota. It was a big deal here when they did all of this. A lot of people around here think its a great thing. Including me. Wouldn't mind going out that way someday.

When i'm older i'm gonna move to FLorida and build a reef in my backyard, not on the ocean. Then they can bury me in there when i die. I heard its illegal to bury your dog in your yard now, i wonder if you can bury a family member. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

Actually, I would want to be cremated and my ashes scattered in the ocean so that the mermaids can feed.--Bob

My LFS has had this mermaid for a while , so amazingly hot. i just dont have enough dough to get it, i tried lay-a-way but no luck :D So i guess i'll have to keep saving and hope no other guy comes in and lays down some serious dough on her. Hope nobody on this board from MD can find this special special store <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" /> I guess i need a bigger tank too!

I now know what I want with my remains... Ya know I knew I loved reefs, but never knew I could be one :p
Maybe we should sell this idea to all the weed smokers... they'd love to become a big green bud :D
