A new underwater memorial reef set to open off the coast of Florida is part of an emerging trend for <A href="http://www.livescience.com/history/top10-after-death-1.html">offbeat burials</A>, sending people to new frontiers after they die, from outer space down to the ocean floor.

"The Neptune Memorial Reef provides a natural setting for loved ones that is also a awe-inspiring destination where family can gather and enjoy," Norman said.

The Neptune Memorial Reef is a response to the demand for more unique alternatives to traditional burial practice, said Norman, whose Neptune Society is the sole cremation-only funerary service in the U.S.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D81A9BD9-D040-49D6-BAA6-0740C2838060/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
