How it works

To create your memorial reef, we first need to receive your loved one’s ashes. Our team will always make sure the  experience becomes a unique and memorable part of celebrating your loved one.

Depending on availability and reef installation dates, the journey might take between 2-6 months.

We are here for all pets

If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team, who will guide you step by step. You can choose any amount of ashes, (within some limits), to be part of your memorial reef.

Handling the Ashes

After you choose any of our memorial reef options, we’ll guide you through the secure process of sending your pet’s ashes to our team in the UK. We ensure every step is handled with respect and care.

Safe Transit to Bali

Upon receiving the ashes, you’ll receive a detailed timeline outlining the next steps. We carefully prepare for their safe and respectful journey to Bali, where the transformation into a memorial reef begins.

Creating the Memorial Reef

In Bali, our team works closely with skilled artisans and the local community to integrate your pet’s ashes into our carefully designed reef structure, made specifically to foster a thriving habitat for marine life.

Reef Placement

The memorial needs to cure before being placed in the ocean. We time the reef underwater placement to align with nature’s conditions, ensuring optimal conditions for the reef to thrive.

Regular Updates

From the comfort of your home, you can track the progress of your reef. Our team provides regular updates, photos and videos, showing how your pet’s memorial contributes to marine life.

A Keepsake for You



Once the reef is in place, you’ll receive a certificate of contribution and a miniature replica of the reef. This special reef is crafted using the same materials as the full-sized reef and can include a portion of your pet’s ashes if desired, allowing you to keep your pet's memory close to home.

Need a cremation arrangement first?

Our funeral director partners offer cremation services along with Resting Reef as a unique package. We can also assist you in coordinating a cremation service with your preferred funeral director.

CONNECTING WITH THE CYCLE OF LIFE

We believe death doesn’t have to be the final step in the journey, and giving back to nature in this way allows life to live on – both in memory and underwater.

Our Mission

A human-centred and nature-centred approach.

Resting Reef is as much about providing a sustainable alternative to conventional burial and memorial methods, as it is about shifting the way we perceive death. We create new rituals and traditions around death that celebrate life.

We also provide support and guidance throughout the whole process, helping you and/or your loved ones navigate your journey.

TESTIMONIAL

I’ve learned that grief and renewal are deeply connected—not just emotionally, but in a tangible, environmental way.
