How human composting works in Los Angeles
Soil transformation—often referred to as natural organic reduction, human composting, or terramation—is a 45-day journey that transforms loved ones into life-supporting soil. They are placed in a proprietary vessel with natural materials to facilitate a clean, organic transition. Families choose how much soil they wish to receive back, with the rest donated to conservation projects.
Angelenos now have access to this sustainable choice through Earth’s facilities. While California is still establishing the regulatory framework for human composting to be performed in-state by 2027, we bridge the gap by providing professional care and transport to our nearest permitted facility. This ensures Los Angeles families have a sustainable alternative available today.
