See why families choose Earth

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

The Earth team handled every detail with efficiency and compassion. It was our opportunity to give back the natural environment which provides such beauty and sustenance.

"What a relief! I no longer worry about burdening my friends with any final arrangements. My family lives across the country and they will be spared any burden as well. EARTH has given me peace of mind and a way to make my passing a non-pollution event. THANKS!"

I did the deep dive on the different organizations here in WA. Earth Funeral had the best service options at what I thought was the most competitive pricing. After signing up I found them to be helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. Especially when setting up a payment plan. The world wide insurance policy to deliver my body to the funeral home brings peace of mind as I travel. Plus it’s not necessarily to think about and purchase such insurance for each trip.

From initial contact they have been nothing but friendly and helpful for my wife and I. We arranged a tour of the facility and it convinced us entirely. They are mission driven and respectful of their clients. We signed up for arrangements for both my wife and I and it was reasonably priced and offered us peace of mind that our end of life arrangements will be both paid for and low impact on the environment.

I have found all the employees at Earth Funeral to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I also like the fact of how reasonable the price was, compared to other funeral companies.

My husband and I found Earth through my search on the internet for soil transformation of the body. We took a trip to the facility to further our research and we were so impressed by the facility and knowledgeable persons there that we signed contracts for both of us. We continue to be in contact and will be going to the Olympic peninsula to see the land where our soil will be deposited.

The gentleman that helped us, Chris, was great. I can't attest to the final product, but so far everything seems great.

Like the concept, but dealing with the ambiguity of something totally new!

Good overall package. If you want a no frills program this one fills the bill. We did, so that is why we bought the package.

"Amelia you have been wonderful and greatly appreciated. I am planning for you folks to do this for me someday. All the best, Ande Maillet"

It was the best choice for me and it was affordable. My kids don't have to worry about it now.

Very happy with the services offered by Earth Funeral. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I found the entire process from start to end of obtaining my prepaid service was super easy to navigate. Highly recommend Earth Funeral services if you’re interested in an alternative way that is great for our planet.

I appreciate the very helpful phone support to help me commit. Without actually seeing the end-to-end results, I just have to go on faith.

No ghastly cemetery to contend with short or long-term. No chemical insults (embalming) at the end of life. Returning to the earth seems most natural.

I think it's a peaceful, respectful way to care for a body and the earth when someone dies.

I have already told lot of folks about Earth Funeral. One of them even signed up.

Earth seems to be the best option of companies doing Human composting.

To return to nature is the best thought you can have of a loved one.

Great service at a great price. Also it was very easy to obtain my prearrangement quote and pay.

The support is very good. All my questions were answered.

Amazing customer service, I asked 100 questions/scenarios and they answered 150! No pressure just honest answers. Best choice for us, I now have peace knowing there is a plan should the unexpected happen. Thank you all, great staff.

They are easy to contact and listened to my needs and sincerely accommodated to my situations. Their methods to involve the Homesteaders life insurance also works well. I have visited their facility in person and the process seems very "clean" and secure. I recommend them to anyone who considers composting arrangement of one's remains.

I highly recommend Earth Funeral. They provided exceptional service to me and my family.

Chris is friendly, informative, and open to talking through ideas and plans to make sure folks are getting the best option for them. That level of service is increasingly rare. Getting it at a price point that makes economic sense as well is a combination that is hard to beat!

Chris C gave a very good presentation/tour. He was personable, casual, and knowledgeable about the process and the business. I have already recommended this business to friends and family.

If someone is asking about this type of service I will gladly recommend it. It was a very good experience and my mother requested it and I didn’t know anything about it at the time.

People we dealt with seemed like they really cared. Seems to be the total and complete package.

Nicole was SO professional. She handled everything perfectly. Earth had the lowest price of the funeral homes that compost bodies. Their price may be low but their service is excellent. Our family has always composted so when I learned this was an option for my brother, it was the perfect choice. Many thanks!

Amelia was very gracious and responsive.

The services they offer appealed to me. I reached out and they were very responsive and answered all of my questions. But no pressure. I toured their facility and felt further reassured that it was the right choice for me. The cost seems reasonable compared to other options.

It was a easy process and just took time. Everything was smooth and stress free.

Very informative. Very friendly.

Friendly availability and willingness to answer questions.

I want to have an ecological/carbon neutral burial. I like the idea of becoming soil to restore a bit of land. And that some remains can be given to my family for inclusion in a family plot.

My daughter had questions about the procedure at the time of death. Her questions were all answered to her satisfaction.

My husband chose composting before he even knew he was sick, because it is such an environmentally sensible choice. The people at Earth are so responsible, professional, and delightful, they made a difficult time much easier to get through, and now I will have my dear husband with me in the form of happy plants for the rest of my life.

After hearing about Earth, we contacted them and were immediately encouraged to take a tour which was very informative and non-pressured. Earth always responded to our inquiries in a quick manner and the paperwork was easily processed. Their plan and their staff are both excellent. Very satisfied with our decision to choose Earth.

Thank you EARTH! You made the process so easy! It is a relief to have this taken care of and hopefully reduce stress for my family and the Earth!

I love the idea of our bodies composting peacefully and not polluting the planet but rather enriching and nourishing the earth.

I've composted food scraps for years and would joke with my family that I wanted to be bokashied when I was gone and so when I read that Washington state was allowing a person to be composted it seemed a perfect fit. I researched it and then drove up and gave Earth a visit. The idea of giving back to nature appeals to me and the people at Earth have got it all to together. I would whole heartedly recommend to go on their website and look at the process. The staff and the facility seem top notch in my opinion

I read that the State Legislature had approved composting as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to coffins and cremation. To learn more about composting, I went to the Earth Funeral website and arranged for a virtual visit of their facility in Auburn. My questions were answered and I was impressed with everything they are doing. So, I have proceeded with prepayment and have told my friends about my decision.

Explained entire process. Planting tress means a lot for the environment and happy this is part of the process. So glad we have this in order.

I became interested in "composting" shortly after Oregon voted in favor of the process. After visiting Earth's informative website the majority of my questions were answered - those that remained were answered by a representative of the organization upon requesting a cost quote. Throughout the entire process Sarah quickly and efficiently answered all my questions providing a great level of confidence in the organization and the process. I now have the comfort of knowing that all of my end-of-life wishes will be honored.

The outdoors and nature have always been a very important part of my life. When finalizing plans for when I leave this world it made sense to have my remains transformed into eco-friendly soil - a relative new option that made sense to me. I chose Earth as my provider, a licensed and regulated funeral home with soil transformation facilities near me. They were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, answering all my questions, offering a tour of their facility and making the process a simple one to complete. It makes me feel wonderful knowing that I will continue to contribute to the environment I have so valued during my life.

Such an amazing way to continue providing to the earth after you are gone. Signing up was easy breezy and I am so glad I found this way to spend my eternity :) Highly recommend

Everyone I talked to was helpful and professional, all my questions answered promptly. I feel very content with my decision to go this route.

Very responsive staff - knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions.

Professional, kind, informative, clean, & friendly place.
