The Neptune Memorial Reef

An Under Sea Cemetery

When you think of dead people, concrete and underwater, you might be forgiven if your mind produces images of mafia gangsters and of their victims swimming with the fishes. All that has changed - in the future what might spring to mind is a remarkable new underwater cemetery.

Off the coast of Miami in Florida a new reef is forming. It is not the result of nature playing its course but the bi-product of people's desire to have a last resting place which is both unusual and creates a new ecosystem.
This is a cemetery under the sea, the Neptune Memorial Reef.
