Reverence. Recognition. Respect.

A lasting place.
A living purpose.

We believe a memorial can honor a life and give something back to the ocean. Our ecologically designed reef structures create shelter and surface for marine life, while giving families a permanent place to remember.

Ocean Legacies, Memorial Reefs Direct and Poseidon Memorial Reef come together through Reef Builders International: the people who design, build and place your tribute.

Our mission

Your family. Your choice.

Keep the funeral home
you already trust.

You do not have to choose between familiar care and builder-direct value. Your participating funeral home can arrange the same Ocean Legacies memorial, at the same memorial price, for placement at Poseidon Memorial Reef.

If they are not yet a Chartered Associate, tell us their name. We can reach out about coordinating your arrangements.

Your funeral home will confirm any charges for its own separate services.

Off Henderson Beach · Destin, Florida

Some places stay
with us forever.

Emerald water. White sand. A coastline to return to with the people you love. Offshore, Poseidon Memorial Reef gives your family a documented place of remembrance beneath the waves.

Receive GPS coordinates and commemorative documentation following placement. Plan a return by boat or dive with guidance on weather and local arrangements.

Questions families ask.

Are these the same memorials as Memorial Reefs Direct?

Yes. Ocean Legacies offers the same memorials at the same builder-direct memorial prices as Memorial Reefs Direct, with placement at Poseidon Memorial Reef off Destin, Florida. Our team helps you choose and coordinates arrangements with the builder.

Can my trusted funeral home help?

Yes. Tell us which funeral home you trust. Participating Chartered Associates can arrange the same memorial at the same memorial price. If your funeral home is not a participant, we can contact them about working together, or help you arrange directly. Ask your funeral home about any separate services and charges.

What does the starting price cover?

Individual Sand Cast Base placements start at $2,495. Other reef positions and sculpture options have their own prices. Memorial plaques are quoted separately by the foundry. We will confirm your selected placement, plaque and any additional arrangements before you commit.

Can we plan ahead or visit the reef?

You can plan ahead and ask about MRD’s structured layaway arrangements. After placement, families receive GPS coordinates and commemorative documentation. Boat visits and diving depend on weather, vessel availability and reef operations.
