Bereavement Balls

Cremated remains of humans could be encased in concrete bereavement balls
and placed on the seabed to create an artificial reef and rejuvenate the
diving industry at Ringstead off the coast of Weymouth and Portland.
The bereavement balls are part of the Wreck to Reef project, which has
already been donated a Castle Class navy ship which will be stripped down,
cleaned before it is sunk. The project also hopes to source a second wreck,
which will be used as an educational resource for schools, with live
web-cameras showing the development of marine life.

Better bereavement Stabits. Don't want to have to be relocating washed away balls and at 20 odd tonne a pop would make an impressive statement on deployment.
