Memorial Reefs
We are inspired by water. It restores us. It provides for us. It soothes us. Being in or near water brings us a sense of peace and connection that little else in life does. Sea scattering of cremated remains in a reef ball is a way to memorialize your loved one and make a lasting emotional connection with family and friends while benefiting the environment that we all love so much.
Adding cremated remains to a specially formulated concrete helps to build artificial reefs, aiding critical coral habitats throughout the globe. Reefs are essential for fish biomass restoration, coral generation, and recreation. We provide families and their loved ones with the opportunity to participate in various aspects of supporting and building new reef systems, including the creation and placement of reef balls containing cremated remains. Contributing to the restoration of our endangered reef systems is a family legacy with lasting benefits for all.

Scattering at Sea
Tuckahoe River, New Jersey
|
Scattering at sea is a time-honored, safe, and respectful method of spreading cremated remains, and Ed Bixby is very familiar with the sensitive issues regarding burial of loved ones. Aboard Destination Destiny 2, a 287 SSX Chaperelle Yacht, you can expect a wonderful, tranquil experience that you will always remember. All remains will be scattered 3 miles off the coast of Ocean City/Absecon Island. The boat will traverse the National Scenic Tuckahoe River en route to the Atlantic Ocean. The Tuckahoe River is part of the national park system and the Great Egg Harbor River Estuary and is a productive coastal ecosystem. It abounds with wildlife such as nesting and wintering raptors, colonial nesting waterbirds, migrating and wintering waterfowl, rare brackish and freshwater tidal wetland communities, plants and invertebrates. There are 145 species of special emphasis in the Great Egg Harbor River estuary -- 41 species of fish and 87 species of birds — including the bald eagle, piping plover, osprey, northern diamondback terrapin, and barred owl.
