Boomers get creative with their final wishes

Fish swim near a lion sculpture in the Neptune Memorial Reef on 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. (AP Photo/ by Wilfredo Lee)
