Just beneath the waves, life is being created through cremation. Not long after the reef is installed onto the sea floor a beautiful and natural transformation occurs. The reef begins to grow and bloom with life as hundreds of species of marine life attach themselves to the reef.
The process is simple. Choose a deployment site. Choose the reef that is right for your situation. Once you have selected the reef that suits your needs, the next thing to do is to contact us and we will send you our Client Agreement. This document authorizes us to manufacture a reef for you and stipulates our responsibilities to you and the deceased. Deliver the completed document to us with the cremated remains and payment. Once Living Reef Memorial has taken custody of the cremated remains the casting will begin within one week from the date custody is taken. After the reef is cast there is a curing time for the reef that is no less than 30 days. On average reefs will be deployed within six weeks of receiving the cremated remains. If you wish to view the reef being deployed into the ocean, contact us - the staff at Evergreen Cremation Centre have options for you.
Deployments Sites
There are a few choices of Reef Deployment Sites within the Georgia Strait, all within a few hundred feet from the shores of Vancouver Island and the mainland area. The first site is located at Cape Lazo; a headland at the tip of the Comox Peninsula near Courtenay, BC. Coffin Point is another site which is located just around the corner from Ladysmith, BC, a small town situated on the 49th parallel. The third deployment site is near Ten Mile Point between Telegraph Bay and Spring Bay, in Victoria, BC., then there are various sites surrounding the Southern Gulf Islands, (from Snake Island near Nanaimo’s harbour to the south tip of Saturna Island). Across the water there is the south west side of Bowen Island and just off the coast of White Rock BC in Semaiano Bay. Visiting the reefs can be as simple as sitting at the watersedge, kayaking off the shores of our beautiful island, or scuba diving to thereef. Whichever you choose, you can reflect on your loved one and knowthey are giving life back to the sea. ---------If you have a request for a different location, please contact me to discuss options.
