"The Alvarez Family is FANTASTIC! They just completed placing the memorial for my wife on the ocean floor out from Clearwater and the entire group of friends and family were amazed at the care and love that they brought to the service. I would highly recommend renting a charter to go watch the process live. They invited us to their home to decorate and film the filling of the vault and they all came to our after ceremony gathering to bring us pictures and videos to everyone could see. We couldn't have asked for a better provider for such an important part of our lives."

"What a lovely experience this was. Guardian is an amazing company who memorializes your loved ones like no other. I couldn’t be happier with how this worked out. Scott was so easy to work with. What a Fantastic alternative to a traditional burial or as an addition to. Great people and great company. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for choices after cremation. ♥️"

"Guardian Memorial Reefs is awe-inspiring and a great memorializing option and a unique alternative to traditional burial. Anthony Scott Alvarez puts his heart and soul into preparing the reef to be deployed into the Gulf. On behalf of my family, we are so grateful for the tremendous amount of heart and patience that was given under such a vulnerable time in our lives."

"These guys are the real deal. They are so compassionate and caring of the the living and the departed.They pay attention to the little things that ultimately bring closure and peace to the family. On a visit to the resting place they thought ahead to bring Rob's favorite beer as a sendoff. We gave a final salute to a life well served. We will miss him but knowing where he is and that his monument supplies a part of a reef helping the underwater ecosystem. What a wonderful tribute to my cousin who was more like a brother to me. Thank you GMR!"

"I am a hospice social worker and was doing research on options for funeral memorials for people. Especially during Covid, people have to and want to, “think outside the box”. While doing my due diligence I literally took a burden off my own shoulders. This is exactly what I want for my remains and funeral options. Finding this company gave me peace of mind. I am with a widower and when I met him he had premade funeral plans with his late wife. He never thought he would fall in live again or get married. I always had this feeling of “ I have nowhere to go”. I knew I wanted to be cremated. After finding Guardian Memorial Reefs and speaking with Scott there, I know where my remains well go.This is such an awesome thing he and his buisness partner does! Thank you!🙏🏻"

"Guardian Memorial Reefs supported a friend through a terrible loss with the most beautiful tribute I have ever witnessed. I think what made it so special was how very personal it is to the Alvarez family. People talk about wanting a celebration of life rather than a funeral. This is it. Fish and other sea life immediately started interacting with the memorial as soon as it was placed by Scott and his sons in an incredibly respectful ceremony. They shared underwater photos and video with the family almost immediately. Thank you for all you did to make a difficult day so uplifting."
