See why families choose Earth

Good communication.

We had a great experience with Earth. We had learned of composting when it was first approved in Washington State and reached out when we learned it was approved here in Oregon. All of our questions were answered, both with the process and with the financing. The process was clearly the most earth-friendly, both from the reduction in climate changing releases and in reducing the space required to dispose of our remains. The financing met our desire to pre-pay with no risk the funding won't be there when needed. Most important Earth takes care of all arrangements. None of our children or grandchildren need to deal with permits, transportation and the like. None of them will feel a need to have their lives disrupted for a funeral; all of them can have input on scheduling a visitation to the Olympic Peninsula for a family gathering.

Less carbon impact than other methods. The team was kind, efficient and flexible to meet our needs.

Very professional and helpful. They have a great idea as to what the earth needs, and are doing the right thing.

Delightful to work with; prompt answers, kindness in helping us fill out the forms. We researched three different companies, liked this one the best, and after encountering their customer service, knew we picked the best!

I would like to thank Earth fondly for being there in my time of need and comfort, special thanks go out to Nicole Smith who helped make all the arrangements for me and my lost loved one RJ. They truly helped me through a time of loss with great understanding and true sympathy for what I was going through. Thanks everyone on Earth's team.

The concept is beautiful and Nicole was wonderful.

Kind, considerate and accommodating. Amelia was wonderful and all staff seemed to be caring.

Good communication.

Earth offers the most sustainable way to leave this existence in the most natural way - the way most other beings leave what's left to be shared with those coming.

Excellent service, great communication, highly recommend.

Very helpful and kind from start to finish. Always willing to answer questions as they came to mind.

They were so caring and kind throughout the entire process. My husband died suddenly and we had no arrangements made. They answered all my questions even when I repeated myself. The process does take time and you can select none, some, or all of the soil. When you pick it up remember, it is compost and smells accordingly. I had always thought being buried in a box seemed odd. And I had no idea the quantity of resources used in cremation. I plan to use their services as well. It just seems like the best way to complete this journey on earth.

Environmentally it is the right thing to do.

This is how we are supposed to end up…as soil for the trees, plants…earth! No chemicals, no impervious coffin, no land occupation.

Folks were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Prepayment made in a very secure method. They will take the burden off our scattered family and its the best one can do for the environment.

Out of all the options available to me, this one just feels right. The online information was plain and simple to understand.

Staff have been wonderful to work with over the phone and by email. I love that my compost will help grow forests in the state. Making future ans was easy.

You made the process easy and it was exactly what my mom wanted

The process is eco-friendly, and meaningful. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We will be able to have a memorial area on our homestead that my family & I can enjoy now & future generations can recognize.

It’s so easy & done! Nothing left for the kids to worry about. But more importantly it’s so much better for the environment and “feels” more normal.

Nicole, Emily, and Ian were great! They made the whole process go as easily and smoothly as possible. The Green Burial option is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly choice and I've selected Earth in my will as the place I want to be sent to when my time has come.

I have not been at the facility to see what that experience might feel like to my children, siblings, or/and dad. But everything else is great.

Everyone we have dealt with at Earth has been been very professional, knowledgeable, patient and just plain kind - from the person who answers the phone, to the person who conducted our tour, to the person who assisted us in filling out the paperwork. Great group to work with.

Competent, friendly staff, no pressure, love the whole concept, peace of mind.

Of course I haven't had the opportunity to use your service (that's good!) but this is just what I want to have happen when I die. I already recommended you to several people!

I believe composting is the most earth-friendly way to deal with our earthly remains.

Making funeral arrangements is a deeply personal decision. I was happy and grateful that someone told me about Earth Funeral. It was a better choice for me than traditional Burial or cremation.

Nicole was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful! She answered all of my questions and enquired if I had more. Nicole was very helpful and pleasant to talk to. I did not feel pressed and was extremely comfortable during all conversations. Thank you, Nicole, for being you!

I worked in the funeral industry for 20 years but the thought of spending eternity in a concrete box never appealed to me. Someone referred me to Earth. Amelia has worked with me and she is great. I had a standard preneed agreement with a funeral home in Texas which I have now cancelled and I have a new one with Earth. I am delighted.

My experience to date has been totally positive and I am happy with my decision to purchase.

When my husband died unexpectedly my daughter told me about Earth and what it was. My husband was a backyard nature lover and this seemed very fitting. There services are professional, kind and dignified. They were easy to contact and answered all my questions and concerns. I plan to use them myself.

Earth provides the most sustainable alternative for managing the remains of deceased loved ones. All other living organisms return to the environment in this way, why not us? Aren't we part of nature? This method is part of a global mandate to reduce carbon emissions and protect the land that sustains us.

I believe in taking care of the planet and the people who live here.

I have been very impressed with the responsiveness of the Earth staff, and the overall ecological quality of their mission.

This is almost everything I hoped for in eco Earth friendly "end of life" arrangements. More closely local would have been nice, but everything else is great.

Information about services and process from staff presented very well in easy to understand terms. Staff very helpful, friendly and professional.

Kindness. Real kindness. You carried me through all the lonely steps toward preparing Dale for this Earth where he will rest forever. You left no stone unturned, no call unanswered, no detail undone. I am grateful to each of you for your wonderful care.

I love the idea of my body becoming a positive influence to the environment. It is especially comforting to know my family will be able to have me nurture their gardens! What a fabulous legacy!

I loved the experience and have been promoting Earth since.

Simple, straightforward...just what I was looking for. And the price was better than the other two similar businesses in the area!

Found the people very caring and helpful

Compassionate and knowledgeable

I was very pleased with the concept, and the wrap around services.

Composting is the most earth-friendly way to return my body to the earth.

I wanted my body to return to the earth. Cremation uses too much energy and creates toxic waste. Cemeteries wanted to put my pine box in a cement liner so the contents could never return to nature. I love the idea of my bodily remains going into compost and eventually trees. Just what the planet needs.

I knew that it was never too early to plan for the end of life, and given my age and that of my husband, it was getting rather late. I was only vaguely aware that there was an alternative to burial and cremation, but as soon as I found the website for Earth, I began to experience a sense of relief. We visited Earth's site, asked our questions and left, reassured that soil transformation was the right decision for us.....and that Earth was the right facility for us. (We have pre paid for our arrangements at today's cost so as to save on tomorrow's.)

I brag about making my arrangements in advance to family, friends and colleagues.

Important purpose - attractive and clear website - thoughtful interior space and 'reception', when visited - easy on line process........all good!

Most natural + conservation-minded funeral arrangement possible. Most affordable as well. Many people are uninformed about this choice....I will enthusiastically share my knowledge and encourage contact with Earth.

Earth Funeral assisted us with arrangements for my mother, and they were kind and helpful at every step. I'm so grateful this natural process became available in time for her (something she would have appreciated if she had known of it). I will recommend this organization to everyone I know.

In thinking about what I want for my body after I die, I didn’t want it to be a chemicalized waste of space in an overpriced piece of real estate with a view. The idea of being turned into compost for my loved ones to grow something from my remains was a beautiful idea. Earth made enrolling in a prepayment plan very easy. They answered all of my questions and sent plenty of information to share with my loved ones. I highly recommend them for your green burial alternative to traditional burial practices.

Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. We toured the facility and found the entire Earth Funeral experience exactly what we were looking for.

For some time I've wanted to avail myself of this path for dealing with my inevitable passing and not leaving it up to my loved ones to make the arrangements at a time when they are already grieving. But being a relatively new technology in addition to being fairly new as a company, I was hesitant to plunk down the money for fear that something might go wrong and I (or my loved ones) would be out a tidy sum of money. So I contacted Nicole at Earth with my reservations. I couldn't have had a more pleasant experience dealing with her. She explained that my payment would be held by a respected insurance company and would be safe, even in the event of default by Earth. As a result, I purchased their service and now I am confident that my passing will not be a financial burden for my loved ones. I would highly recommend Earth if this is the path you too wish to take.

I like the concept of earth burial and appreciated the staffs compassion and warmth!

Earth provides a sustainable and natural way to transform the body into the Earth from which it came! I will consider it a great honor for my remains to nourish a tree in the Olympic Peninsula.

We were very happy with the entire process of providing an Earth Green burial option for our mother, who recently passed away. We had already contacted Earth prior to our mother's passing, so when the time came everything was already organized. All of the staff at Earth were wonderful to work with, quick to respond to questions, handled the entire process in a very professional, yet caring manner. Thank you again. Unfortunately I do not live in the state Washington so I am not able to utilize this service, but I would recommend to anyone who is able to do so.

I believe in the process. Your company makes it easy. I have already posted on my social media about having signed on.

I believe your method is the best for our earth. Amelia has been very helpful and thoughtful.

The concept of the procedure is as planet-friendly as you can get. The level of support was world-class. I worked with Amelia. She was very understanding of my questions and requests for help or change. They took care of everything any other funeral home would do. Everything went very, very smoothly.

Like the concept very much. People we dealt with were very kind and responsive.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. This entire process has been handled perfectly and with compassion. Our family is finding peaceful closure because Earth was able to provide our loved one the kind of transformational passage which reflected her values in life.

To me it's a great option to relieve loved ones of having to deal with the logistics of one's passing. Plus it's the most environmentally friendly way.

I wanted a green funeral for my mother and found earth. The entire process was efficient and pleasant. In my experience Earth is a wonderful organization at a difficult time and is the best choice for our loved ones and our planet.
