Atlantis: City for Eternity
An Alternative Final Resting Place

Monday August 14, 2006
Atlantis: City for Eternity
The Atlantis Memorial Reef and Reef Project are two innovative projects with end-of-life twists, currently under development by Afterlife Services Inc.

The Atlantis Memorial Reef is a new alternative resting place. This innovative project is promising to be the "City for Eternity," located off the coast of Miami, Florida. Plans for the project include a memorial garden for cremated remains, a large man-made reef, a destination for divers and explorers, and a place for commemorating mankind's accomplishments. For a fee people can have their final resting place for their cremated remains be placed within this new Atlantis.

The Atlantis Reef Project is the creation of a man-made reef in the image of the lost city of Atlantis. This new Atlantis is designed to be a place where marine life will flourish and underwater enthusiasts can come to explore.
