Resting Reef
Future Impact Pencil / Future Impact / Design / Emerging Talent / 2023
Resting Reef is an innovative memorial and eco-burial service that regenerates life from the afterlife. It radically changes how we see and experience one of the most traumatic events imaginable. The service allows people to transform their ashes into reef structures by creating a unique formula containing human ashes and crushed oyster shells – two elements that nourish and enhance marine growth. It turns something that feels so meaningless into something meaningful. Resting Reef is redefining what a cemetery should become: a place that connects people with nature and reminds us that we are part of a larger ecosystem.
