Earth Funeral has been nominated for The Seattle Times Best in the PNW, a community voting program that highlights local businesses, organizations, and services across the Pacific Northwest.

For us, this nomination feels especially meaningful. The Pacific Northwest is where Earth first took root. It's where early families, partners, and community members helped welcome soil transformation into the public conversation and supported a new kind of end-of-life care.

From the beginning, Earth Funeral was built around a simple belief: families deserve options that feel transparent, natural, and aligned with their values. For many people, burial and cremation are the only choices they know. Soil transformation offers another path, one rooted in care, ecology, and a meaningful return to the earth.

Why This Recognition Matters

End-of-life care is built on trust. Many families discover Earth Funeral during a deeply emotional time, and many are learning about natural organic reduction for the first time. Being recognized by the community where our work began helps build credibility, visibility, and confidence for families who may not know this option exists yet.

Today, Earth Funeral serves families across the country, but our roots remain deeply connected to the Pacific Northwest. This nomination gives us a chance to honor the place that helped shape our beginning while continuing to grow awareness nationwide.

Every vote helps move that work forward.

Here's How to Vote

Voting is open once per day through June 26 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time.

You can support Earth Funeral by voting daily, sharing the link with friends and family, and helping more people discover soil transformation.
