Reef Ball-after you die, what R U doing??

[Scuba65]

Oh, my god that is such a good idea. I told hubby that i want to be cremated..and ashes spread somewhere in the ocean...can't decide where yet, but this is a really good idea. now the some animal can have a home.

I am going to have a bust cast in bronze, and my ashes mixed in the cement base, have a big party on a boat, hawaiian shirts and boat drinks for all, and have some divers place me on a reef.

Must it be the shape of a ball? Can't it have nooks shaped to the liking of your favorite see critters (the better to attract them)? Or can make you in the shape of your favorite thing underwater? Personally I'd like to be made in the shape of a huge sea fan.

Funny this should come up, I was just talking about it with a friend the other day. I have always wanted to be cremated. Where I was living in Europe it was against the law to do anything with your ashes but put'em 6' under....I was even thinking of being cremated in a different country when the time came. I'm glad that it's one less worry on my mind.

My thought would be one mold fits all. If you were to do something different it would change the price.....unless it is (what we hope) some where way down the line and they might have more options due to demand.

If you wait long enough (in geological terms) your constituent atoms will end up back in the sea pretty much no matter what they do with your body, as long as it stays in the vicinity of the Earth's surface. Most everywhere on the planet that's now dry land used to be under the sea at some point, and most of it is going back there eventually. And if you really wait long enough, your atoms will end up back among the stars in outer space when the sun's final stages consume our planet and blast everything back into the cosmos. Which is appropriate when you think of it, because all the atoms we're made of heavier than hydrogen were made in fusion reactions inside ancient stars that blew up long ago.
