Cemetery in Dave Jones’ Locker

A submerged cemetery named Neptune Memorial Reef is located 45 feet under the water off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida.  The cemetery is complete with gates, pathways, benches, and plaques.

The following is from AP, For sea lovers, a final resting place, CNN.com, May 10, 2008:

The artificial reef’s first phase allows for about 850 remains.

The ashes are mixed with cement designed for underwater use and fitted into a mold, which a diver then places and secures into the reef. A copper and bronze plaque is installed with the person’s name, date of birth and death. There is also a line for a message. * * *

The cost of a placement starts at $995 and can go to $6,495, for those who want to be placed inside the base of a lion statue for all eternity.
