See why families choose Earth

It feels really good to have this all taken care of. My daughter wont have to fret about any of it. Everyone I had contact with at Earth Funeral was gracious and knowledgable. It was a positive experience all around.

The Earth company made it easy to sign up with very helpful staff and one phone call once you are gone, is economical compared to conventional burial options, and is certainly environmentally best option if that is important to you.

It's the kind of burial I've wanted for decades. I'm glad it is available at the right time.

The process is well-thought through. The messaging is very clear. Presentation - whether website, emails, or in-person conversations are high quality, consistent and warm. The thought that I'll be leaving this earth without a big environmental final stamp feels good. And just knowing that everything is figured out gives me great peace of mind. The price, while not a huge motivator was also more than reasonable.

I knew I could not afford a large funeral cost and I am an organic gardener and what better way to be taken care of after death but to become part of that organic substance?

I believe we all should do what we can to reduce carbon emissions. This is an amazing alternative solution to burial and cremation.

Well organized; reasonable price; helpful reps--not pushy; like the idea of being friendly to our earth.

Felt very cared for & everything explained very well. Also great price.

It’s the solution I need! Everything is positive. It just feels right.

I've already told people about this process, that its gentle and respectful.

My decision to use Earth services gave me immediate peace of mind. My council Suzanna was excellent.

This was a very comfortable way of planning your final plans, especially if you are thinking about alternative ways.

Professional, friendly, & knowledgeable staff. In watching the webinar, all my questions were answered in the presentation. The fact that I can "give back" to the earth was very appealing to me.

My wife and I are both in our 70’s and still hadn’t made any firm commitments to what we wanted upon our death’s. When Earth Funeral came up we decided to take the seminar they offered. We were pleased to find out that they aligned with what we wanted. They answered our questions without some big sales pitch. I found that the cost for this particular process was great. Both of us really were not interested in the usual casket, cemetery thing and all the ceremonies that went with it. Also one of the biggest reasons we went this route is we are traveling more often. Since we could be almost anywhere being on vacation or just traveling Earth Funerals ability to get us back home as part of the process made perfect sense. We just gave our loved one’s the cards they provided and they will take care of the rest. I can’t say enough about that.

The ease of handling everything so that my spouse needn’t have to make any decisions after my death is essential to me. Earth Funeral fits with my desire to eliminate using up precious land for burial, unnecessary use of a casket and assures my body returns to the earth in the most environmentally sound way. I like the idea of conservation land that my body can rest and help restore nutrition to the soil in this small way. I’d encourage others to research this company.

Considering this is a very difficult topic I was extremely happy with the support and care I received from Chad who was my contact at Earth. My wife and I purchased the plan and now we can move on with living.

My husband and I try to practice a sustainable lifestyle. When we were considering end of life options, we defaulted to the easy choice: cremation (not sustainable). When I found Earth Funeral on Instagram, I was intrigued. Then my husband's younger sister signed onto the program. We signed up for the webinar to learn about the company and talked with our daughter to see what concerns she might have. We had a phone call to finalize the details and we are signed up. It is such a relief. When my parents moved to the medical wing where they were living, we needed to provide end of life details to the administration. So my sister and I went through the process. The sales people kept trying to upsell us. It was not a good experience but we got it done for our parents. In comparison, Earth Funeral is a breeze. As part of the program, you are given five cards (each) to give to the interested parties. We talked with each family, handed the cards to the right people. It is amazing how relieved we are that this is taken care of. We have had deaths in the family and of friends. That is not the time to figure it all out. Earth Funeral is the best the best option for my husband and I. Of course, we don't want to avail ourselves of their services for quite a while but we are prepared and that feels right. There is a big thank you to Earth Funeral for having the patience to answer all my question.

I was looking for a solution like Earth Funeral. I don’t want to be taking up space when I’m gone. The presentation answered all my questions. I prepaid so that’s not on my family to think about. It feels great to have this important detail taken care of.

I'm early in this process; my husband and I have just signed up. But the concept really appeals to me. No need to waste resources when my body could be used to replenish the earth. I like the idea of becoming one with our farm.

It is important to me how this method is safe for our future world.

Highly recommend, and grateful for finally finding a solution that works for me. Turns something unpleasant into a lovely way to leave the earth a bit better after you're gone.

My husband and I watched videos and then attended a zoom session and spoke to employees giving us the information by email and by telephone. We were sold. Anything that we can do help to save the planet is worth it!

From inquiry to completion, staff at Earth Funeral were ideal guides as I and my spouse passed through a gentle, slow process of transformation. He became soil on Earth, and my journey as caregiver came to a celestial close.

Every single question I had while considering Earth Funeral was answered thoroughly and quickly. The staff I've dealt with are impressive and I know my remains as well as my loved ones will be in good and confident hands when the time comes for me to become compost.

The Earth Funeral team was very professional, detail-oriented, and generous with their time both in the webinar and via video conference where I got all my (and my family’s) questions answered as well as a thorough live video tour of the Las Vegas facility. I feel greatly relieved to have my Earth Funeral procedure in place and that I have given this organizational gift to my family. Thank you so much!

Very happy with my decision, received my Homestead insurance papers but still waiting on Earth Funerals information package on so I can show my children the information and details on your service. Michelle Bogart said it'd take about two weeks. It's only been 12 days so I'm waiting for my mail delivery.

I began seriously thinking about the choices in end of life cascades ago. One daughter died as an infant and c was buried in the town cemetery...that gave solace to the older sibling for a short period of time. My dad's ashes were sprinkled in the river where he went fly fishing and my mom's ashes were sprinkled on the land she had donated to conservancy. Two years ago, the death was closer to me and I went on a search b to find a less polluting way to deal with remains in a thoughtful and respectful way . I had a long talk b with an advisor with Earth Funeral and discovered a solution....but not then because new facilities were pending and not yet available on the East Coast. But I am a huge advocate for body transformation. So I have been signing petitions and lobbying for approval. Now there are facilities that could accept me. I signed up. One call from my survivors and the matter will be accomplished. The remains will be transported to the nearest facility, paperwork will be handled. Necessary filing will be done. In a few months, we can receive a small container of newly created soil. The rest will go to a conservation area. I couldn't be happier with this arrangement; my kids are relieved of difficult decisions in a sad time.

I like the fact that soil transformation (aka human composting) at an Earth Funeral facility is a natural process, and that it is a much more affordable & environmentally friendly than traditional burials. Pre-paying allowed me to lock-in at today's price. When I expire my survivors only have to make one phone call to Earth, and everything is taken care of by a team at Earth, making the process simple and straightforward for my survivors, during what is usually a stressful time. If I happen to be out of state or out of the country when I expire, the travel plan they offer will pick up my body from anywhere in the world, and transport it to the soil transformation facility at no additional cost to my survivors. The staff is very knowledgeable and personable, and they have been readily available to answer every question that I had, during and after the webinar. Choosing Earth Funeral for my end of life planning was an easy decision for me, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an alternative to traditional burial.

Trusting Earth Funeral was a big decision for my wife and me. Having said that, the Earth Funeral team is first rate. Very professional and empathetic during my recent traumatic experience in losing my wife. As I share my experiences with others, people are both amazed and interested in this approach of dealing with the deceased.

Earth Funeral has relieved the worry concerning end of life arrangements and we are very happy to be apart of their program. Everyone at Earth has been very friendly, professional and thorough. We have recommended them to all of our family and friends.

Every step of the way has been positive. Chad has been nothing but patient and kind with me. He has answered all my questions clearly and with kindness. The organization is so very well organized, which gives one peace of mind while setting up your Earth Funeral. Thank you…

I am comforted to know that my end of life details are sorted. Through the webinar and a couple of phone calls. All my questions were answered. I’m happy there are alternatives for after death.

I chose Earth Funeral because it just makes sense to be returned to the soil. I’m 93 and I wanted to finish this before I die so my kids didn’t have to make this decision when they were mourning. The last consideration was because the process is better for the environment and I am conscious of my impact.

Wonderful people and giving back to the earth are all we needed to make up our minds.

A great experience and a very good and enlightening tour of the facility. Both my wife and I were definitely impressed and knew we came to the right place to take care of us when the time comes.

I went on a tour of the facility in Elkridge. I was impressed and was given a lot of information. This is the way to go for so many reasons. Do your research, you will be interested!

Jon Paquette went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. I appreciated his prompt attention and willingness to help. I’m so pleased to have these arrangements settled to relieve the burden from my family. I’m sleeping better just knowing I don’t have to worry about this. Thank you, Jon!

My family required Earth's services unexpectedly. However, it was very simple to sign up online and connect them with a local funeral home. Earth staff provided non-stop care and attention throughout the process. Friendly, professional, and compassionate. Everything was taken care of for us quickly, professionally, and compassionately. Representatives from Earth checked in with us proactively and were also always available to answer our questions. We found their prices to be more reasonable than others, and I do not believe service would have been better anywhere else. We will definitely contact Earth again if and when the need arises.

Great communications. Everything clearly explained & most of all, a much needed service which seems to cover all one's needs, at a fair cost.

The introductory meeting was great, the materials provided were well done, the premise behind the idea - exceptional! Happy to have my final wishes taken care of- using a very natural process-small footprint on mother earth and compassionate care during a time of grief (and possibly relief) for my family.

I had heard about Earth Funeral from watching a YouTube video on soil transformation. I knew I didn't want to be cremated, and I didn't want to be buried in the ground, and this was a beautiful option. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend people looking into this type of alternative to cremation or burial.And it's extremely affordable too.

No one likes to think of 'end of life' planning, but I am glad that I looked into Earth Funeral. It gives me peace of mind that I am taking control of how my remains will be handled. I want simplicity, no funeral, no service just a return to earth. The team is great about answering any questions or concerns and they maintain great communication. I get updates and information on new facilities and any pertinent info about the company. The cost is very reasonable and payment plans are available. It's the way to go, literally!

I highly recommend Susannah Sprague with Earth Funeral. She was attentive to our needs and gave us personalized service that went beyond my expectations. She was prompt and knowledgeable when I had questions. Even set up a zoom appointment for us to discuss our wants, needs, and desires. She sent us sample contracts for me to go over before signing anything, even made changes when I felt the wording was more poetic marketing than contract steel. Overall, a great experience! I now feel confident my last arrangements will be carried out. Greg P.

My wife and I have always tried to be environmentally-conscious, including how our funerals would be managed. We were thrilled to find out that Earth offered a composting service that would bring our remains back to earth without a lot of damage to the environment. In fact, the compost created by our bodies would serve to replenish soil and still have composted remains for the immediate family, if they desired. Our experience with Earth has so far been very positive: from the very informative webinar to personal phone calls to follow-up emails, we have very happy with Earth and their process - so far, mercifully, we have not need it :). However, when that day comes, we are confident that the folks at Earth will do everything to support our final wishes. Earth has made the process look completely seamless, including how to handle the body and bring it to their facility. We are happy recommend them to everyone we know who is considering what their funeral process will look like.

Very helpful and professional, and I like what they said about their services. Well worth checking out to see if Earth Funeral is right for you burial planning.

I'm so sincerely happy that I chose Earth funeral! I was a little worried at 1st. I had assumed my husband and I would be cremated and it was difficult for me to change my mind. But composting actually helps the environment and leaves "no footprints". That's what I have always tried to do, so this was perfect. All my questions were answered immediately, we are in Pa. where they did not have a facility but they had my husband's body picked up and transported within I think it was 12 hours? Or sooner. After composting I was sent some of his soil and the majority of the soil was used in a reforestation project. I can't thank Earth funeral enough!

I heard about Earth Funeral on the internet. After that I saw they offered a live webinar. After watching, my wife and I decided that it is the way we would like to go. I thought that the price was fair, considering my mother passed away in January this year with a pre arranged burial and it still cost over $8000 for the casket. Everyone i dealt with after the webinar was very helpful to answer any questions we had.

I chose this as a way of not just doing no harm but doing good. I love the idea of feeding a forest which in turn reduces carbon and adds oxygen.

I was unhappy with current options available posthumously for myself. I didn't want to be put in a box that will eventually leach formaldehyde into the earth. I didn't want cremation for aesthetic reasons & pollution of the air. I am a fan of leave-no-trace while alive & this gentle, useful solution is perfect. Pragmaticly I am satisfied that my funds are protected until I die. 100% satisfied & my children are pleased as well.

I have long been against chemical contamination of the environment, unnatural use of land space, and added stress for family members during burial. I recently relocated to Maryland to live with my daughter but, among the many things l left behind in North Carolina, was my intention to have a natural burial on my own land. While this remains possible, transferring across state lines can be burdensome. Burial in a Veterans cemetery without embalming remained an option; however, a vault is non-negotiable. I briefly considered aquamation, but kept delaying. When an article came across my digital newsfeed about Earth Funeral becoming available to Maryland residents, I knew immediately this was an alternative worth considering. I followed the link and read carefully about the process in the FAQ section. My partner still wanted to visit the facility and we seamlessly scheduled a site visit. Staff were welcoming and professional. I have no doubt that respect is very much a part of an Earth Funeral. This was the right choice for me and my family.

It has been my desire since high school to have my remains turned into the soil to fertilize plant growth and not take up any land; which, to me, should be for the living. Earth Funeral provides exactly this service. The preparation experience for this has been very professional, affordable, and comforting.

I went on a tour of the facility in Elkridge. I was impressed and was given a lot of information. This is the way to go for so many reasons. Do your research, you will be interested!

I am very happy to have made the decision to do an Earth Funeral. The whole process is earth friendly. Customer service was top notch. I would encourage anyone to check it out. It is a very future oriented, environmentally friendly way to dispose of your body after death!

I never had to call about any concerns. Carla was handling everything, allowing me to relax and grieve my beloved mom. I knew this was the perfect choice for my mom and she agreed. The gentle process is the Only Way to Go. My mom went onto Hospice and the time came to make arrangements, I was really happy to know that the hospice we were with, partnered with earth. The process is seamless. Now I have my mom home in the garden where she wanted to be. Thank you so much for making this experience, beautiful.

Savannah was outstanding in setting my wife and I up for the program - pleasant, helpful, patient, and professional.

This group is extremely professional and their process from beginning to end is efficient, well thought out and easy to follow. There is very little competition in this market so they could probably charge more, but their pricing is lower than any other form of funeral arrangements. I highly recommend Earth to everyone who will need this service...which is everyone.

All interactions with this company have been low to no pressure. Very informative and generous with their time in terms of answering questions. They made a difficult topic easier to deal with.

If you are exploring natural and sustainable alternatives to traditional burial, I highly recommend looking into Earth Funeral. Choosing human composting is a deeply meaningful way to return to the earth, and the team there makes the entire process incredibly accessible. From the very first interaction, their staff was both exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely warm. They took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and care, providing clear explanations that really put my mind at ease. It is clear they are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to guiding families through this gentle, environmentally conscious option with the utmost professionalism and respect. If you are considering this path, you will be in wonderful hands with their team

My experience with Earth Funeral couldn't have been more positive. This is such a huge decision in one's life with a lot of questions. They were all answered with such consideration and care by everyone. I am so grateful and thankful I found them!!

Very nice and helpful during a difficult time

Excellent service and care. I recommend it as a last gesture of peace to the environment.

Earth Funeral presented a plan that was exactly what I wanted. The staff answered all my questions, provided extra information & made the whole process pleasant & easy. I am completely satisfied with Earth & my family is happy too.

Having chosen an in-earth-type burial as the preferred end of life repository for our remains, my wife and I then looked for options to that end, for years. After attending their recent seminar, though, it was clear that Earth Funeral was the answer, so we made an appointment to speak with one of their counselors to answer any questions that may arise. Our Earth counselor, Tim Miller, walked us through the paperwork and patiently answered the few questions we still had, but he also took the time to explain the whole process, from a report of passing, through the physical process itself, all the way to remains amending the soil in the way we’d prefer. Exactly what we’d looked for. We were glad to get this checked off our bucket list. We’d finally found the method that meshed with our values and our wishes with nothing compromised.
