How it works
A clear process, handled with care.
Memorial Reefs Direct coordinates each stage of a permanent ocean memorial, so your family can focus on the person you are honoring.
The Way It Works
Selecting Your Memorial
This is the biggest step. If you have any questions, call us at (888) 989-7333 or email answers@memorialreefsdirect.com. We are ready to help.
View MemorialsTransfer of Remains
Your trusted Family Funeral Home Partner may handle your arrangements, or Memorial Reefs Direct can send you instructions. The U.S. Postal Service is the easiest legal shipping method. Questions? Call (888) 989-7333, and we will be glad to help.
Transfer FormThe Preparation
Once the shipment arrives, we complete the preparation process for placement in the reef. We will return urns if you ask and will add sand from the reef if you ask. A return fee will be added to your order. We will contact you before any return.
Final Documents
After placement is complete, you will receive two certificates suitable for framing: your exact placement location. When we present your Legacy to the reef, you will receive a photo of the placement in the reef.
Attendance
If you plan to attend the presentation to the reef, we would be happy to suggest charter boats or boat rental companies. We plan to add a second project boat next summer. Until then, call us with your group details and we will be happy to assist you.
Return and Remember
There are two ways to return and remember. We suggest a day at the beach where you can look out toward the site. If you are a diver, we will give you a list of charter boats or scuba shops with dive trips to the reef. Maps will be provided.
