Burial At Sea Memorial Helps Miami Fish Habitat

As we often say at BoatTEST.com: you are not getting any younger. So, why not plan now for a destination burial in the largest underwater memorial of its kind in the world? It is a place that has become a tourist attraction where scuba divers from all over the country come to visit. The folks at The Neptune Society say that “more and more baby boomers…are looking to do something different…and by being buried underwater they are giving back to the environment.” Indeed, the memorial park owners say that the local fish population has increased from hundreds to thousands. So far, the remains of 47 people are said to be resting there.

The Neptune Society’s underwater memorial park is a fitting final resting place for boaters who had saltwater in their veins.

The Neptune Society Opens Miami Office Providing Unique Memorial Options

The Neptune Memorial Reef, a unique, undersea tribute to life, is a re-creation of the legendary Lost City and is the largest and most enchanting man-made reef of its type in the world. Located off the Miami Coast in 40 feet of crystal clear water, this environmentally-friendly sanctuary is the first and only one in existence for those who prefer cremation, want to be memorialized at sea in a designated place.

This is a plan of the memorial park. Some places or repose cost more than others.

The Neptune Society, the largest independent crematory in the nation, has opened a Miami office servicing the Miami-Dade County offering fluent bilingual counselors for both English and Spanish. The new office, located on Bird Road, is the closest location to the company’s Neptune Memorial Reef which is located a few miles off the Miami coast. The man-made underwater reef is a unique option for placement of cremated remains. The reef was designed to look like a lost city underwater and provides growth of coral and attracts marine life.

It is a growing destination for scuba divers.

Tim Nicholson, CEO of the Neptune Society, said, “The headquarters for Neptune are located in Plantation, but we felt that Miami needed a dedicated office to serve the ever growing Hispanic market. We want the Miami-Dade communities to get as much personal service from us as possible. Our counselors will fully explain pre-need plans for peace of mind and at-need programs for unexpected/immediate needs. We encourage all residents in these areas to stop by or call to find out more about what we have to offer.”

This is a premium resting spot.
