The Environmental Impact of Choosing Great Burial Reef®?
By choosing one of our Ocean Cremation Urns™ to celebrate the life of and memorialize your loved one, you are choosing “green burial” and you earn our enduring gratitude because you’re making two distinct contributions to the environment.
First, by avoiding traditional land burial, you are making an active contribution to land preservation. As the population increases and as green spaces vanish across the globe, avoiding land burial allows us to use diminishing space more optimally.
Second and simply put, we build desperately needed artificial ocean reefs. Each Ocean Cremation Urn™ placed on the ocean floor instantly becomes part of a thriving marine ecosystem, and habitat for hundreds of marine species, contributing to the ongoing worldwide efforts towards ocean reef restoration. You may not know this, but over 40% of the world’s natural ocean reefs have been destroyed by increasing commercial and recreational marine activities, so every Ocean Cremation Urn™ makes a valuable contribution to restoring the damage that has occurred over the past 75 years, ensuring that the ocean community has new and restored reef habitat for hundreds of years to come.
