SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES
Florida diver Robin Fannin had her last wishes observed when her ashes were mixed into concrete and turned into an artificial reef in the Gulf of Mexico.
Fannin died at age 31 from Leukaemia. She was an active scuba diver and had decided to become part of an artificial reef in order to help the marine environment after her death. US-based company Eternal Reefs Inc has been offering the service to people who would like to be buried at sea.
