Living Reef Memorials: Saving the Ocean One Funeral at a Time with Rob Sarnie and David Stubbers

My guests Rob Sarnie and David Stubbers of Living Reef Memorial offer a unique and “green” option for after-death disposition that rejuvenates the ocean habitat in the process. They will share with us how cremains are used to create living reefs that increase marine biodiversity and heal parts of the ocean where coral reefs have been destroyed. This is a fascinating example of using creativity to make the world a better place and offer alternative means of disposition at the same time. Learn more about this work at their website:
