“A permanent living legacy for those who lived by the sea, made a living from the sea or simply just loved the sea.
Either a beautiful memorial where your loved one’s ashes are held, their Solace Stone slides from the deck and falls away to the sea bed. As the reef sanctuary evolves and flourishes it will become home and haven to numerous marine species. With the passing of time your loved one’s Solace Stone will become part of the reefs future growth and protection.
Their Solace Stone remains an enduring reminder to all, of their unique life, which has helped create this unique place.

I love this idea. 5 years after the death of my husband I’ve finally found the right thing to do with his ashes. But the cost is beyond my means. A ridiculous amount of money.
Hi Liz
It is expensive, the cost reflects the work involved, the machinery needed and the manpower required. I am sorry we can’t make it any cheaper.
Kind regards
