It might strike some as a bit creepy, but it's a pretty tranquil place to spend the afterlife. Welcome to the Neptune Memorial Reef, an artificial reef that doubles as an underwater cemetery. Talk about sleeping with the fishes. The Memorial Reef is located off the coast of Key Biscayne in Florida, and is open to any certified diver. Welcoming divers into the cemetery is a cement lion, which would look scary on land, but the underwater theme just makes it creepier. Those who wants to get a plot of land in the memorial will have their ashes mixed with cement, which will be molded to become part of the underwater structures. The place will even have themed areas for tourists, which will hold dances and sports. The reef is designed to last forever. Well you have to admit, when the world finally succumbs to global warming and the polar caps melt, your remains will be perfectly safe. |
