After Life is a revolutionary ocean memorial reef and funeral company that allows people to continue the legacy of their loved ones underwater.
Combining sustainable materials, innovative technology and humane services, After Life reefs help coral ecosystems and reduce the heavy carbon emissions from traditional funerals while allowing people to remember their loved ones more meaningfully.

'I found something so beautifully circular about After Life – it represents us as humans in this circular dimension giving back to the earth. And I can imagine when a family comes to visit the reef – whether you go out on a boat or are just on the beach by the sea – it gives people a chance to reconnect with nature, which really resonated with me. I think it’s an idea that could work anywhere in the world.'
