New, All-Inclusive Memorial Package for JUST $4,990
Traditional funeral costs are expensive, costing upwards of $20,000 or more. Our process for memorializing your family member is affordable and beneficial to the environment. Our memorials start at $4,990 and can be customized any way you choose.
Dedicated Staff to Handle Funeral Arrangements
With our process for interring your lost loved one, marine life will quickly become attracted to the structure. Tiny animals called “polyps” will attach to the exterior of your memorial. Over time those polyps become coral structures, which combine to create reefs that flourish with new life.
Fully Customizable Eco-Friendly Options
If given a choice, how would you like to spend eternity? At Guardian Memorial Reefs, you can remember your loved one with a custom-designed structure unique to how they lived their life. Our underwater memorials provide a responsible way to commemorate a life while restoring the the environment for new life to begin.

Your loved one’s ashes, as well as the ashes of another loved one, pet ashes, important mementos, and other small keepsakes, are encapsulated in the memorial’s permanently-sealed concrete vault.
All memorials come with a professional-grade photograph in a setting of your choice before they are deployed at sea.
Step 3: Deployment & Free Charter
Your loved one’s memorial is brought to the sea floor on our barge and peacefully lowered into the water. You and your family will be taken to the location via complementary charter at a time & date of your choosing.
Each underwater memorial includes a Captain Certificate with:
- Time & date of deployment
- GPS coordinates with latitude, longitude, and depth
- Official Guardian Memorial Reefs seal
