A Word to Define the Experience
What is Deployment?
The Memorial Reef™ is so unique, truly one-of-a-kind, that we need to reinvent words to define the experience. The Memorial Reef™ is part art, part ecological advancement, part memorial. When somebody joins the Reef, they become part of all three. We call that deployment.
Deployment to the Memorial Reef™
The Memorial Reef™ is a man-made reef designed to memorialize those who have passed. Cremated remains are joined with the very materials that create the Reef. Divers deploy a new piece to the Reef, marked by a memorial plaque bearing the name of the deceased along with dates or an epitaph. Families are welcome to participate in the process.
In this manner, a deceased person becomes part of the Reef itself, whether as part of a column or a starfish on the ocean floor. The Reef city allows you to choose among a number of locations for your Memorial, to choose the one that best fits the individual or family. Some families, for example, purchase an entire Reef column so that the family Memorials are together, much like a family might purchase a group of cemetery plots.
