Serene slumber. Don Brawley believes environmentalists can help their cause even in death. His company, Eternal Reefs, Inc. is an Atlanta-based company that allows the deceased to spend the afterlife as part of an artificial reef, which serves as a home to fish and other marine life for at least 500 years. Cremated remains are added to the concrete of an artificial reef unit being cast. The Memorial Reefs are deployed to permitted locations at sea. Memorial Reefs are placed in locations where they are most ecologically needed. More than 1,500 different reef sites have been created worldwide. The sites are approved in areas designated appropriate by federal, state and local governments. The artificial reefs are dedicated as permanent memorials while also bolstering natural coast reef formations, Brawley said. “Even in death, you can help life,” he said. “Artificial reefs are becoming increasingly important as environmental degradation occurs around the world. The reefs provide homes to countless fish and they help maintain a sense of balance in the sea.” Brawley created the company in response to a request by his father-in-law to be buried at sea. At the time, Brawley was working with a company called Reef Ball Development Group, which creates artificial reefs to rebuild deteriorating reefs across the world. His father-in-law requested to be cremated when he passed away and asked Brawley to put him in one of his artificial reefs. “He wanted to be buried at sea,” Brawley said. “He told me, “It can’t think of anything better than having all that action going on around me all the time after I am gone - just make sure that the location has lots of red snapper and grouper.’” When his father-in-law passed on in 1998, it stirred something soft inside Brawley. “We were able to oblige him when he passed on,“ he said. “And when I told people about it, there was a positive response. So we started Eternal Reefs.” He said the response has been overwhelming. “People are becoming more aware of (options),” he said. “And they want to be a part of a recovering ecosystem, and to help the environment. Response has been positive, and we’ve been very busy.” The cremation rate in the United States has gone from 2 percent of deaths in 1980 to 27 percent in 2000, and is expected to exceed 45 percent by 2010. According to a major casket and urn manufacturer about 45 percent of individuals that have chosen cremation still have the remains at home sitting on a shelf or in a closet. Prices for the reefs run between $850 and $3,200. Brawley said there’s never been a stronger need for artificial reefs. “Over the years man has done a great deal of damage to the seas and oceans of our world,” he said. “Many natural reefs have been destroyed and over-fished. Establishing new reefs is a tool that is used to take the pressure off the natural reef systems and help repair the damage that has been done by mankind. The Memorial reefs provide a nurturing environment for fish and other forms of sea life that are critical to the environment.” Get your picture on a Red Jellyfish e-card!
