Sea Memorials

St Ives Boats are currently investigating the possibilities of creating a memorial reef in the Atlantic Ocean, for the interment of ashes within a permanent memorial reef ball.

Reef balls are made of a concrete mixed with cremation ashes and are a permanent fixture on the sea bed, often marked with a bronze inscription.

Once approval has been obtained from DEFRA, the governing body for deposits within the ocean, St Ives Boats plan to offer this service to discerning customers looking for a permanent memorial for loved ones.

When established, the reef balls will sustain a wide variety of marine wildlife, becoming an ecologically acceptable method of disposal of cremated remains, with the added advantage of being a permanent memorial for visits by relatives and friends.

If you think this service may be of interest to you, early expressions of interest may be made to St Ives Boats by phoning 0777 300 8000
