Cemeteries of the World: The Eerie, The Beautiful, and The Quirky

Maybe you never really get to know a place until you see where they lay their loved ones to rest.

Covering 600,000 square feet of sea floor 40 feet under the sea, this artistic interpretation of Plato’s Lost City of Atlantis is the world’s largest artificial reef that also functions as an underwater cemetery to promote a “green” burial alternative.

The memorials deployed here are made with cremation ashes and serve as new reefs, living up to the underwater columbarium’s philosophy of creating life after life. The Department of Environmental Resource Management reported that marine life in the area grew from zero to thousands two years after it was opened.
