An Underwater Cemetery?


Julia Child, the renowned chef and television personality, chose a unique and fitting final resting place. Her ashes were interred in the Neptune Memorial Reef, a man-made underwater memorial off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida. This reef serves as a columbarium, where cremated remains are incorporated into the reef's structure. The reef features a personalized plaque commemorating Child's life and contributions, and it attracts various marine creatures, creating a vibrant and ecological environment. This underwater memorial is a fitting tribute to Child's love of nature and her adventurous spirit. However, she does have a gravestone in Santa Barbara, California with other relatives.
