Postby tree4 » Tue May 12, 2009 7:25 am

All we need now is a few volunteers? Any Jet Skiers out there?

Odd.

I might try it with my mother in law though. Do they have to be dead before you chuck them in the sea?

No just in powder from so you can mix them with concrete.

I can't believe you guys think that is creepy!! What would you prefer? Some plaque or tomb monolith for family to weep at?? :yearght:

Face mortality and do something with it! This is the best dead folk idea I have ever seen. Public and private funding on similar reef projects is always short...esp with our present world economy. This gets individuals to privately fund, and puts a positive on the persons death....rather than a pine box rotting underground!

I fail to see the creepy.

The amount of land it uses and the pollution that it causes to the ground water that's what!


The fuel used and air emision from a crematorium aren't much better but at least this tries to give something back.

Why is this so different from scattering ashes under a planted tree?

No way would I want my body to be used to give SUPers and boogie boarders a wave.

It would be good to be turned into an ultra shallow rocky death closeout at the end of the wave though.
