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.

Protecting the planet

By choosing our services, you not only honour your pet but also create a positive impact
on nature and contribute to the growth and well-being of local communities.

THE MARINE ECOSYSTEM CRISIS

We offer a profound shift in how we honour our pets by merging the tradition of memorialisation with ecological restoration. By placing these transformed, underwater “urns” in marine environments, our beloved companions give back to damaged ecosystems, becoming sanctuaries for marine life.

We align with seven of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by contributing to the enhancement of marine ecosystems and stimulating economic growth in the local communities where we operate. We are also part of the UNESCO Ocean Decade program exploring Challenge 10 – changing humanity’s relationship with the ocean.

REEF LOCATION

BALI

Located in Tianyar Bay and Tulamben Village, our reefs are nestled in North Bali’s protected marine environments. Historically affected by damaging practices, these areas are now the focus of our restoration efforts. Our memorial reefs offer a triple tribute by honouring your pets and revitalising the underwater world, while also creating opportunities for the local communities who depend on these waters.

“In my opinion the idea of making artificial reef structures in this way is really interesting and it has been a real learning experience for me.”
- Ode Mangku, local fisherman.


While Bali may seem a world away depending on where you are, we chose this enchanting island for its rich history of marine biodiversity, making it an ideal and safe location for our memorial reefs. More than anything, we understand the importance of trust and care in handling your pet's final tribute—that's why our team will personally be by your pet's ashes at every step of the way, down to placing it underwater with our own hands.
