An Underwater Cemetery

By The Daily Dish

You've got to dive to pay your respects:

The ashes are mixed with cement designed for underwater use and fitted into a mold, which a diver then places and secures into the reef. A copper and bronze plaque is installed with the person's name, date of birth and death. There is also a line for a message.
