Description

In Hong Kong, it takes 7 years to own a cemetery. In the absence of resources, it becomes more meaningful to rethink a new burial method. Reef burial is a brand new burial method in which ashes are sealed in the reef in another form. These reefs not only represent a dead life, but also become the cornerstone of the growth of various marine life. Under the bedding of the reef burial, an artificial coral system can be established. This form of value conversion also allows people to pay more attention to the marine environment. Human life is closely related to nature. The reef burial has changed the traditional form of cemetery, therefore, people's memorial methods have also changed. The author combines part of the traditional memorial behaviors in the design, while incorporating new memorial methods to realize the transition from traditional memorial activities to future memorial activities.
