Artificial reef near Miami is cemetery, diving attraction (AP)

A pair of porkfish and sergeant major fish swim near a section of the Neptune Memorial Reef 45 feet under the surface Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 3.25 miles off the coast of Key Biscayne, Fla. Creators of the reef hope it will become a memorial for the dead and a diving site. Instead of a burial funeral, people can pay to have their remains placed in one the reef's structures after their death.
