Resting Reef

Transforming the ashes of those who have died into beautiful and impactful memorial reefs that restore marine life.

Resting Reef is a pioneering memorial service that transforms human and pet ashes into reef structures, restoring damaged seabeds and regenerating marine ecosystems. Grounded in both science and design, our reefs offer an eternal resting place that fulfils the deep human need for remembrance, connection, and legacy, while supporting ocean life and coastal communities. Each memorial is carefully crafted with bioreceptive materials to attract marine biodiversity and rebuild habitats in areas suffering from degradation. Families receive ongoing updates, deepening their emotional bond with the ocean and raising marine literacy. As a sustainable for-profit business, Resting Reef channels private funding into the critically underfunded marine restoration sector, creating a regenerative alternative to traditional memorials. With successful pilots already completed in Bali, we’re now expanding to the UK and beyond. Our vision is to make memorial reefs as accessible and culturally accepted as cemeteries, turning personal loss into a lasting, life-giving legacy.
