Green burial pioneer Great Burial Reef®, based in Bradenton, Florida, USA, designs and manufactures natural concrete burial reefs and accessories, based on the belief that the lives of those whom we have lost should be celebrated, not mourned. We have lovingly helped families from across the country and around the globe celebrate the lives of their departed loved ones through living ocean reef burial since 1999.

The venerable 600-pound Great Burial Reef Classic™ burial reef is cast from 100% natural concrete and natural additives, and is available for Great Burial Reef® managed Ocean Placement Life Celebrations from four U.S. ports of call (Sarasota-Florida, Miami-Florida, Chesapeake Bay-MD, and Boston-MA).

For families who are considering ocean ash scattering or a more affordable version of living ocean reef burial, the 60-pound natural concrete Great Burial Reef Living Urn™, the only cremation urn in the world that is specifically designed to create life, offers families the opportunity to privately and permanently place their loved one's ashes in any of the world's oceans or almost anywhere on the planet and, in the process, create their own personalized Life Celebration event. The Living Urn™ is designed to be easily sealed and permanently placed by the family. Great Burial Reef® managed ocean placements are available for families who choose not to participate.

Both patent-pending products have a unique Care Chamber™ that seals using marine-grade adhesive to protect the cremated remains of our loved ones for generations, and both the Classic™ and Living Urn™ are designed to attract and foster life for generations, creating what is, quite naturally "the most peaceful resting place on earth."
