Burial at Sea

I thought this only happened when people died on a ship and for whatever reason the body could not be sent back to the mainland or when a ship sank and there were no survivors.  However, a friend sent me a link to www.eternalreef.com.   Interestingly, there is a company that will take cremains and craft the ashes into a memorial reef.  The following is from their website:  For families and individuals that choose cremation, Eternal Reefs offers a unique memorial choice that replaces cremation urns and ash scatterings with a permanent environmental living legacy as a gift to the environment and generations yet to come.

How unique! And for someone who loves the water, this would make sense.  I go back to my mantra- talk to your family or whoever will be taking care of your wishes.  Have the conversation. They are not mind readers.   And one thing can lead to another so that all parties are on the same page after “The Conversation”.  Talking about final wishes will also get ther younger people thinking about their own wishes.  Non one is immune to becoming incapacitated or dying.
