See why families choose Earth

I'm very happy this option for end of life service is available, the team at Earth was very helpful .

Everyone I’ve talked to has been very helpful, understanding, patient with all my questions and arrangements

I am telling everyone about your company and this process because you were all great to interact with and the composting option is a truly wonderful option.

I'm very happy with your service and help, and hope to complete my account soon.

I felt 100% supported through the entire process, and absolutely love the unique ecological service that Earth provides for individuals and their families.

I believe others would like this option of end of life service. They should know it's available.

I have recommended Earth to about 20 people so far as a well planned, respectful, and environmentally friendly process. For me, the soil going to the Olympic Peninsula to enrich the habit for tree planting has great appeal. We plant trees on our property and I have 5 more to plant this weekend. (Grand fir and incense cedar).

I am very grateful for this process. This is how we should all give back to our earth and continue to make it beautiful! I'm so looking forward to watching my dad's garden grow forever. Thank you!

Flawless customer service and follow through! I couldn't have been more satisfied, but the work with "efuneral" was more difficult for me, except for the intervention of the Earth Burial staff, it would have been more onerous!

I like the idea of helping the environment after I died.

I have purchased prearrangements with Neptune Society. After dealing with them on a recent death, and knowing the availability now of Earth burials I much prefer this method. I wish it had been available years ago when deciding on making my preplanning arrangements.

The tour was interesting and meaningful. It makes good sense for life on this planet to use this method. We felt secure in this as advance planning, as we might live 20+ more years.

Perfect scenario regarding our wife, mother and grandmother

Staff very courteous and empathetic during very difficult time for us-tragic death of our son 24 from gun accident. Compost process very natural and inexpensive around 4K. Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Composting is in harmony with nature. Seems the most natural way as opposed to expensive caskets, vaults, tombstones, plots etc.

It is the best alternative

Short of burial in a winding sheet with no embalming, this is the closest thing to the natural order of things that is currently offered.

I was very pleased with the service and the answers I received to my questions.

Earth and its caring staff , have given me the opportunity to give back to the earth as nature intended , a body that is no longer needed , giving me new life and new purpose .

Easy, good prices

I find it the best possible choice to make a positive environmental impact with my body after I’m done living in it.

"I let my friends and family all know about EARTH when my brother (who recently passed away) stated this method in his directives. It is certainly an interesting way to ""return"" to our origins. Much love to the EARTH team! ~Michelle"

"Process was seamless and easy to complete on online in a timely fashion. Amelia was so helpful and compassionate! Thank you for your support!"

It's time to get my end-of-life affairs in order and I was looking for a "green burial". I discovered Earth soil transformation "burials" and compared having my body composted to a green burial in the local green cemetery. For one thing, the price to have my body composted is much more reasonable than buying 70 square feet of real estate in the county where I live in Washington. I also simply love the idea of my body being turned into compost and then reused to grow trees and indigenous plants in a deforested area on the Olympic Peninsula. What a lovely place to rest. Before I made the commitment to this process I took a tour of the facility. It is so cool! Minimal carbon footprint, very positive impact on the environment. Plus it is a startup which is exciting to support. Frankly I find the entire process of body composting to be rather futuristic, fun, a little wacky, and just very cool. I feel so satisfied that I have chosen this method. It was easy and everyone was friendly and supportive. The person I worked with was there for me but did not get pushy as I was considering the options. I'm telling everyone I know about it and so many are interested. If you are at a stage in life where you're looking at getting your affairs in order and care about the earth this is a wonderful option to consider.

I am so pleased to have a natural way to be buried. Chris was an invaluable help.

I believe in this process! It’s better for the environment, cost effective, and supporting a startup. Beyond that I find it to be futuristic, a bit wacky and just very cool. I love the idea that my body will actually be contributing to the earth versus lying in a green grave decomposing (which was my second choice). Frankly, this whole process makes me feel better about dying.

As a funeral home professional who cares deeply about the families I serve, I can tell you without any hesitation, you will receive the same quality of service from Earth. I have worked with them from afar on four seperate occasions and the care, quality and understanding which they extend to me is unmatched. I recommend them.

We enjoyed the tour of the facility. All of our questions were answered. We received our welcome packet just a few days after signing up.

I'd been thinking about alternative burial for quite a while now. When I learned about Earth and its goals and methods, I sought out more information. I took a virtual tour, talked with my daughters and friends, and gave this decision careful consideration. I am confident of both the business model that protects me financially and the science of the transformation of my remains. Now my family will not have to bear any of the cost nor arrangements. It's all taken care of, and I find that comforting.

Our visit to the facility was a wonderful experience, due in great part to our discussion with Josh (director of operations). The entire process was explained in great detail in a lighthearted but respectful manner, and the price of the entire process is very reasonable.

Everything was as I expected. No unpleasant surprises.

This is an extremely personal issue with many, many factors involved in the decision. If someone asked, I would gladly offer my positive opinion, but would curb too much emotion.

This is a wonderful place for people who want to give back to the future of the planet when they die! There is no greener way to go. I love the idea of helping to restore the land (instead of taking up space in a cemetary). And there will be a beautiful place for family and friends to walk through. The people are helpful and allow you plenty of time/space to think about what you want to do. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because I haven't died yet, but so far the process has been simple, direct, and easy.

I would recommend based on my experience but not everyone would be ready to consider your services.

"Everyone I've talked with has been wonderful. But... I really won't know until I die how good you guys are. Doubt if I'll be caring very much then. Thank you!"

I chose ten because everytime I needed information, everyone was so helpful, didn't rush and really cared. I've already given your email to alot of people. Thank you for everything

"I want to say thank you to the Earth team for their service and the way that they receive and deliver our son's remains. We appreciate the respect and solemnity that they show in both events. Emily is an ANGEL, she was compasionated and caring. Amelia was kind to share with the team that will work with our son's remains the emails that we sent for them to know how amazing our son was. We wish with all our heart that may God bless them and give them back 120% all the love, care, respect and the way that they manage my son's remains. In this difficult time, we need people like you, people that go above and beyond. We are grateful to have our son back to us, to see him in every beautiful tree and flowers around us. Sincerely, The Proud Parents of The Best Son, Barista, Sibling and Friend in the World."

Kind professional and very helpful support, transparent cost structure, plus the knowledge that our money is protected..

Earth was very easy to work with. They answered all questions and were professional and compassionate. I really appreciated that they could pick up my loved one from about 100 miles away and didn't charge extra. My family felt good about the environmentally friendly option. I highly recommend Earth!

The team at Earth was exceptional from first interaction to the pick up of our loved one. I spoke with other companies and very pleased with our decision to use Earth. I would highly recommend Earth.

Unquestionably this is the future for the funeral "industry". Truly sustainable, economical, ecological, earth centered intelligent design. A thousands of years old practice with a most modern and timely personalized "update". The company is fabulous and visionary, the product is Light Years ahead of the current understanding of life, death and renewal. Of the Earth we are first born, from the Earth we are fed, and now back to The Earth we can lovingly be returned. Brilliant and beautiful. Whomever makes this choice will inspire many others to do the same. Something so simple to do, for our 'end of life' planning that our heirs will be inspired by, and our Earth Mother (who feeds us) nourished by in gracious return.

Help save the planet

What a great option for funeral arrangements! Fantastic customer service, every question answered. Thank you Sarah!

My continued thanks to all the Earth Burial team; competent, caring and providing excellent follow up. I've no hesitancy in suggesting this site to friends and other family members.

I believe in this type of burial and wish to tell others.

Vision, cost, intelligent design, ease and efficiency of subscription , follow up and customer care.

Earth has been amazing to deal with. From before my mother's death when she was ill and we first booked the package you answered all of our questions quickly. Once she passed you were incredibly responsive keeping us up to date on every step. We so appreciate it and know our mother would be extremely happy with how her body is being used.

I was very happy to see that Earth funeral offers an ecologically sound service, as I knew cremation was a bad option. I called them up and received thoughtful answers to all my questions. Chris, who helped me was very well informed, thoughtful and kind. He also helped me patiently through some technical SNAFUs, and my husband and I, who live in California, became informed that Earth Green Funeral Home is in the process of buying land needing restoration in California, which in addition to the Olympic Peninsula In Washington, will serve as a mulch deposit site.

Someone said to me recently that I could be composted rather than burial or cremation. What?? Then I heard about composting again in a discussion of personal carbon footprint. The organization Earth was mentioned. I went online to their website and researched the whole concept and process. The more I thought about it, the more I felt this was a small way I could personally make the world a little better for my son and daughter. Now that I have procured an end-of-life contract with Earth, I have a real sense of satisfaction knowing that I will enable the growth of new life after I pass. And I have received nothing but positive reactions from my kids and friends when I mention the Earth contact.

I found the perfect thing to do with my body after death. These people are kind, sensitive, efficient, they listen well, are patient and helped my family be comfortable with my decision. I recommend this way of taking care of the earth, your family and your body after death.

I am already sharing about Earth Funeral to family friends and colleagues. The only current downside to composting is that there are too few states doing it yet so there is still a carbon footprint to ship bodies to WA. But planes are flying anyway, and cremation furnaces are not firing in these situations.

This method seems the best by far in terms of peaceful gentle transformation of bodies of those who have completed their journeys here , and the optimum for the environment. Paul was happy to know his body was going to become compost. I told my family I would wish for this to happen for me as well. Also thank you for you kindness, consideration and service.

For the past several months, my partner and I have looked at and compared and discussed our options for our bodies when we die. We knew we wanted the lowest possible carbon footprint, which ruled out cremation. We knew that we didn't want to take up space on a plot of land somewhere, which ruled out cemetery burial. Soil transformation/human composting feels like the best choice for us, given our love of gardening, plants, all things green. Nicole was very helpful, answering our questions and holding space for our process. Knowing that our offspring won't have to deal with this after we're gone gives us peace of mind.

Everything was as promised. Considerate, articulate staff. A very positive experience.

Mission of company, low energy use and carbon footprint, processing my remains to soil, and incredible customer service.

Nicole answered our questions well; we appreciated her competence and overall good energy. She reached out occasionally over several months, but we never felt like she was pestering us.

After looking into all of the possibilities for pre-arranging services for human remains, I have opted for Earth Funeral. I saw the gentle care for the body in a video and it resonated immediately. Not only is the process a responsible choice, it is an affordable option compared to traditional burial.

The people I spoke with were helpful and stayed with me to the end of the paperwork which I always dislike. Never felt pressured to do anything other than what I was wanting to do.

Earth Funeral was supportive and efficient throughout the process and I would recommend their service highly.

You were professional, kind, helpful.... thank you

Seems like the only ecologically responsible choice

My wife was very much attuned to nature and ecology. She always expressed a desire to have her body just be returned to nature in the most ecological friendly and beneficial way possible. When she passed recently in October 2023, I honored her wishes and researched green burials. We live in California, and I found out green burials (that is composting of remains) was legalized in CA, but does not take effect until 2027. However, since Earth Funeral is based in Washington state, where it is legal, I contacted them. I still needed to go through a local funeral home in CA to handle the paperwork, such as the Death Certificates, pick up my wife's remains and work with Earth to arrange an air flight to SEA-TAC. Everything on both ends went smoothly and Amelia from Earth was exceptionally nice and responsive. It was all worth the money. There are family and friends of my wife who asked to have one set of soil (32oz container and 1 oz Keepsake). I am going to instruct my next of kin to use Earth Funeral when it is my turn.

Easy process, kind and helpful staff, great communication

Warm, professional and caring. It was a good experience in a difficult time. Happy that such an earth and family friendly option exists.

We are so happy to have discovered Earth. The service they offer is so important for the environment and for families to feel good about what happens after death. My husband and I each set up and paid for a pre-need. They customer service was exceptional and we enjoy keeping in touch with their period newsletters. Highly recommend
