Memorial Reefs International's specially designed reefs turn cremated remains into living, thriving coral environments. We are proud to now offer this service for your pets, too!
Pet Reefs help coral communities, fish, and other marine life to adapt and survive. When you create a Pet Reef, you’re helping one of the most important and endangered environments on Earth in a tangible way.
These Pet Reefs also contribute to ecological awareness, as children and other family members will love these unique memorials. The treasured memories of your pet will live on when you make them part of a beautiful reef.
Arrange an individual or private cremation for your pet through your veterinarian or local Gateway provider. Remains from previously cremated pets are also welcome. You can choose to include all or some of your pet’s cremated remains to be put into the memorial. Alternatively, we can build and dedicate Pet Reefs to honor pets without containing their cremated remains.
Select and order your Pet Reef above. We will send you a shipping kit. Send as much or as little of your pet’s cremated remains as you wish to Memorial Reefs International. See our
shipping instructions for more information on how to ship cremated remains.
When we receive your order, we will begin creating the bronze plaque. For individual reefs and private gatherings, we will send you a plaque order form so you can customize your plaque. Upon receiving your pet’s cremated remains, we'll build them a Pet Reef using specialized concrete rated to last over 500 years.
Your Pet Reef then travels by boat upon the
next scheduled dedication, which happens 3-4 times per year, to the site where it will become a home for abundant marine life. For private gatherings, many more dates are available. Once we have placed your Pet Reef in our undersea garden, we will send you the specified documents and photos confirming the placement of your pet’s memorial and any keepsake items you may have ordered.
