See why families choose Earth

I was impressed with the helpfulness of the staff. Plus, I just believe in your mission. Thank you.

This winter I learned about Earth funerals, wrote them and called them and drove to their facility to check them out - at their invite. Being an avid teacher of environmental concerns, Earth funerals fit right into how I feel our remains should be returned to the matrix from which it came. To use my used up physical self to bring life to others - tiny though they may be, is absolutely perfect. I carry my card wherever I go - even on my body when hiking. I highly recommend going this direction who is interested in Leaving No Trace at our end of life.

This is a way for environmental concerned inviduals to give his or her final gift of kindness to saving our planet.

Green!

All interactions and questions were cordial and complete. Thanks

The option to have our remains converted into compost, rather than ash by cremation or bones by traditional burial is the only reasonable option given the fact that the process requires nearly zero energy emissions, unlike cremation, and results in giving life to organic matter should the soil be used to restore a forest and/or a garden owned by a loved one. And the cost is affordable compared to traditional costs of burial at a licensed cemetery. Moreover, your staff is extremely competent in handling our questions and providing insight into the whole process, let alone explaining the benefits to our environment by electing to revert our remains into compost.

Composting feels right as an end of life solution to what is, after all, a waste disposal issue. Cost is also quite reasonable.

Our experience to-date with Earth (gathering information about Earth, communicating with Earth via e-mail and phone, visiting with John and touring the the Auburn Earth facility, and completing our sign-up paperwork online) has been exemplary. However, we have had no need to utilize Earth's services to-date, which will be for us and our loved ones the most important aspect of our Earth experiences.

You guys are the best. Such an industry change movement

Professional, kind, and the right thing for our environment

Very, very kind, esp. Amelia.

The digital experience, phone, and email exchanges have been exceptionally positive. The website and functionality speak volumes about an organization, and Earth's website and online registration process is a 10! Very simple to follow, easy to understand, user-friendly site speed, soothing design (color, font, and images all reflect care). I appreciated the follow-up email and newsletter.

First of all, the process fits what I feel is the best green option for my burial. After visiting the establishment and seeing how the process was accomplished, I was even more convinced. John's time spent answering our questions and walking us through it were very much appreciated and helpful. Knowing that my remains will end up near the Olympic Mountains where we enjoy hiking made it all the better.

The process was very easy and quick. Nicole was pleasant to deal with and answered my concerns. The whole process was taken care of over the phone and computer.

Greenest, reasonable price, very friendly people n support, local biz, convenient

Earth took care of us and our loved one with dignity and great care . Communication was seamless and we always were able to track each step easily. Would highly recommend

Amelia comforted me through all that was needed and more that was just being a friend. She is the Boss dog with a heart. Thank you

The kindness with which we have been treated during this painful time has meant so much. Also being proactively kept informed about my son progress through the transformation journey has been very helpful.

Company provides the service I want at a reasonable price.

The process is natural and leaves no carbon footprint. I like that. Amelia was extremely helpful and patient with me.

The staff was kind and very helpful. The process to set up arrangements was very easy.

The idea that my remains will help nurture young saplings forward into eternity in an area atop Hurricane Ridge, is my ideal vision of Heaven. Easy, simple, steps throughout the contractural process. I am so grateful for this port of entry into my end times, through which I have found a profound peace in contemplating death.

A great eco-friendly option for end of life.

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!
