# 2022 Resting Reef |
Traditional cremations and burials are unsustainable practices accelerating climate change and damaging vital ecosystems
Resting Reef is a system of structures containing human ash and crushed oystershell, two elements which nourish and enhance marine growth. The personalised 3D printed reefs provide memorial legacies that restore nature for the next generations by increasing marine biodiversity, filtering water, preventing coastal erosion, and capturing CO2. An eco-burial service that truly regenerates life in the afterlife.
