See why families choose Earth

just think you are a good outfit doing good important work for a reasonable price

Everyone has been very helpful and as In was doing this on my phone, in Australia, I had more than my share of issues.

Honest and transparent pricing, knowledgeable staff, nice facility, good internment options, trustworthy handling of funds via insurance policies.

Natural burial/decomposition is seemingly more responsible and sensible than the tradtional funeral home/burial choice.

Earth provides a wonderful option and have been very easy to work with.

The process of transforming from remains to new life, to becoming part of growth, first drew me to Earth. Then the warmth, professionalism, courtesy, compassion and consideration shown by all of the people at Earth that I spoke swept me off my feet.

It’s green

From the first call To Earth Funeral to the soil delivery, the process was supportive and simple. During a time of grief, their care was a relief. I would highly recommend Earth Funeral for any family who cares about the environment and needs funeral services.

Earth provides a wonderful option and they have been very easy to work with.

My experience in signing with Earth Funeral for my end of life burial was very positive and easy. Sara, was knowledgeable, and sensitive to sharing all aspects of the process. I was totally surprised to learn my family could decide whether or not to keep some of my soil at the time of my death. I wasn’t pressured to make that decision right away. Earth is an amazing alternative to caskets and cremation. Thank you for generating this option.

Friendly and caring

I am in Portland OR, and contacted the Washington state facility. They arranged for a family viewing in Portland before moving him and helped me get the final soil distribution to several different locations.

My husband had spinal cancer, so we had time to research funeral options, prior to his passing. Since we both care about nature and the health of our planet, we chose Earth Funeral. Working with Amelia and Chris was wonderful. They are very helpful, supportive and professional. I have already purchased my Earth Funeral arrangements, even tho I expect to see many more sunrises! I volunteer with a 501c3 nonprofit to protect Legacy Forests in Western Washington. WLFDC.org

I had a very positive experience with Chris. He answers all my questions. I have now joined Earth.

I heard about this concept from my niece. I contacted Earth and found the facts. When you're gone, they pick your body up and prepare it with organic compounds. I was told it take about 7 months for the body to turn into compost. (But you don't have to worry, cause you won't be in it.) Then off to a location to be mixed with existing soil and rejuvenate the land! (Talk about getting your hands dirty!) I've always wanted to "return something to Mother Earth". This is the way to do it. We humans take and take from Earth. We leave nothing except scares and trash. (Also, a couple of ex-girlfriends thinks of me as dirt anyway, so this is only fitting.) [Joke]

I like the idea very much. It’s not an expensive plan and Kevin who I was in contact with was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions. I’m very happy with my decision

After researching this method it just seemed so much more natural and, I guess the word might be peaceful. It just really made sense to me for a lot of reasons besides being environmentally friendly.

I think this is a solution to so many obstacles in end of life situations. I am a naturalist and think going back to the Earth is the best way to travel full circle from birth to death. If I can nourish a river bank, a forest or a field of wild flowers I will die with purpose.

The principles behind your process and the excellent communication.

It's a great idea and I think a lot of folks would rather return something to Earth, rather than be buried in a tomb. I'm not a Pharo and at my age the only things that will find me appealing are bugs and such. So being buried in a casket someone can dig up in 200 years; I think what they find will be disappointing. And I like the idea of the 5 trees being planted. (I hope they're planted somewhere in the USA.)

Fair price for an ecologically sound process. I don't want to take up space after I'm gone. Returning to the earth is what's supposed to happen anyway.

You were very helpful in answering my many questions without undue pressure to commit to participation. I think I now have a good understanding of the approach of Earth and am happy to be a part of it.

When Chris (Taktak) closed Pisces, I had to restart my search. I needed an affordable, relatively local, environmentally conscious option - a personable and grounded connection would be a plus. Tall order, but I knew it was possible because I'd found it in Chris and Pisces. Proximity and price quickly winnowed my options. Online, Earth comes across online as forthright and without guile, which I find appealing. Recompose shares those same attributes but communicates a more relatable tone in their online presence. Finances directed me to follow up with Earth, not to mention the planned 2027 opening in California. Once I began interacting with staff, relationship needs sorted themselves. To cap it off, the arrival of Earth's welcome packet from sender Christopher Taktak affirmed I'd made the right choice for me! Staff was consistently helpful assisting my low-vision needs.

Earth friendly, simple and economical solution

Easy process to get quote and sign up. Closest of these types of businesses to where we live. Price comparable to market.

I like this earth friendly approach to death. It fits with my desire to leave no trace and to remain only in the memories of those whose lives I may have touched.

I like the concept of human composting and being more environmentally friendly. Earth quickly and easily assists in finalizing plans.

Like the concept and the people!

Customer attention, price, belief in the process.

One person is passing away soon. Another person has similar values as to what you provide.

My first contact was when I emailed for a Price Quote in October 2023. I received a response and a follow up call from Senior Care Advisor Chris Coble. After researching the Earth Funeral materials, and our finances allowed, I contacted Chris for an in-person tour. Our daughter attended the tour & asked questions with us. Chris is very knowledgeable and answered our many questions & concerns. Chris was extremely welcoming. He showed us the facility and an up-close view of a vessel and samples of organic mulch, woodchips & wildflowers that will be added. Our 45-minute scheduled tour lasted over 1 1/2 hours, but Chris never made us feel it was time for us to leave! I have already given the EARTH pamphlets to my cousin & best friend. I have shared information with my family & friends. I even made a presentation to my 2 Granddaughters who are in their 20's. My Husband & I very much support the values of EARTH and feel very comfortable with our bodies going to earth when it is our time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I was thrilled to find Earth Funeral! It is important to me to leave a smaller carbon footprint and the idea of being returned to the earth in the form of nutritious soil is wonderful. I was also pleased to see that they offered the option to be picked up from anywhere in the world for a reasonable fee…….this was a real selling point for me as I am doing some “late-in-life” traveling. The team at Earth Funeral walked me through the online document signing, which was very helpful and reassuring. This was the final piece that needed to be in my trust. Thank you Earth Funeral!

It has been a positive and uncomplicated experience for a hard life issue

Human composting is the most eco-friendly way of disposing of human remains.

Through the soil transformation process and EARTH, every single 'road block we found with previous funeral arrangements were removed! The employees were extremely professional and patient. The sacredness of the death experience is maintained. The earth contaminants are zero! And the price was very fair, especially with no selling pressure to buy! I cannot recommend this business and it's practices enough!!! Thank you very much Chris Coble for guiding us through our decision; Christine for the virtual tour of the WA. facility, and those who made themselves available as needed. The two of us have greater peace of mind due to EARTH.com.

I want to minimize my negative impact on the earth. This is my final act of respect. Your company and employees gave me the information I needed to make this decision, and were kind and supportive. I pre-paid services, so I can rest easy that my family will have less to deal with when I die. It put my mind at ease about that time of life.

Very easy to work with, good sustainability product, supports my values.

Your team was really knowledgeable and helpful.

Sounded better than burning. Soil is better use than ashes.

My husband Bill and I felt it was the perfect last journey for him and myself in the future. Very peaceful.

Excellent and very thoughtful service.

I am so happy with the solution earth provided. I did not want to lose my husband, but since I did we had to find a solution. It makes us feel good that Don is still supporting the earth. The staff at earth has been responsive, sensitive, and supportive throughout the process. My family and I look forward to visiting when the land is open.

It’s a good idea

Kind, caring and knowledgable staff. Providing a rare but important environmentally friendly option with excellent service.

The service was nothing less than excellent. I’ve already recommended you to several friends.

I love this process ! I did recommend it to several friends, but they already had plans in place.

The most natural and humane way to return and help this beautiful fragile earth; which has supported and cared for me. Easy to arrange with the added security of an insurance policy for travelers, i.e. snowbirds.

The concept is most humane and natural to me, as I acknowledge I am part of this beautiful yet fragile earth. Earth's team was most helpful in setting this up and offers a much needed insurance for travelers i.e. snow birds. which I was not apprised with other similar companies.

The concept of earth to earth is more appealing than the alternatives.

My desire is to have an end of life plan that isn’t daunting or imposing on my loved ones. I chose Earth Funeral because soil transformation is far less expensive than traditional burial costs, and the process is eco-friendly. The staff are courteous and readily available to answer my questions. After the simple enrollment process, I have peace of mind knowing my end of life plan is aligned with my values.

My sister passed suddenly in July and had told my Mom just days before that if she were to die, she would want something where she could return to the circle of life or have a tree or flowers planted over her. We looked around and found the Earth Funeral Services and they were so helpful and compassionate and explained the process and we knew it was exactly what my sister would have wanted. So very happy we found them and now my husband, Mother and I are all putting instructions that this is what we want done for ourselves as well.

People were kind, we were kept informed of the entire process. I believe composting is better for the planet.

My daughter had expressed that she would like to be buried under a tree. We could not find this method, but EARTH Funeral came very close with their method. We were able to place the soil they sent us in with our soil and plant a tree of our choice to remember her always. We were totally appreciative of their attitude each time we spoke with them.

The service was prompt and compassionate and spent time to answer our questions and kept us informed about the process for my sister. My husband, mother and myself are now going to be writing in our wills that this is what we want for ourselves as well.

Your method was the closest we found to what my daughter had said she wanted. Each contact with you was handled by your staff in the nicest manner. I really dislike feeling like I am dealing with someone who is very fake with their reactions. That was never an issue with Earth.

I like the prompt, friendly informative service.

Environmentally alternative to cremation

Speaking of and planning for death can be a difficult issue to take on, but necessary. I asked for material to review and then my contacts with Earth were helpful both in my knowledge level and my comfort in my choice.

I believe I have a passion and I’ve always been searching for something like Earth and recently. I came across as I was getting my death certification and then my dad passed and the first thing without a thought was to call Earth. I know that this is what I wanted for my father and I know this is what I want for myself and I do believe that there is no other choice going forward as our planet Sustain coffins being buried on top of each other and that pollution in the toxins that go along with cremation is also not sustainable for our planet and earth is not only sustainable, but it is beautiful and everybody there has been absolutely wonderful walking me through each and every step and no question is a dumb question and for every time I called and had one there was a beautiful answer and a loving kind human being to speak with me and I got to watch the process when I logon to see when the 45 days were up and where my dad soil was going to go and some of it came home to me where it is going to be placed in sacred places on my land and some family members lands and I’m teaching the grandchildren about this and how to grow with the soil and it’s been a beautiful experience and it really helps because going through all the emotions and heartache of loss in the morning and the grief process knowing that you’re doing something beautiful that’s going to keep our planet pure and surviving for generations to come. It’s a big thing and I think that this shed so much knowledge and light on that and it is just absolutely amazing and I could not recommend, anything more than this and it is so dear to my heart I think that the more we can spread the word about this the better our planet is going to be 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽

Because I believe it’s the only sustainable and sacred way to move forward for the planet and it just is something I strongly believe in

As of this point in time, I have no complaints about our interaction.

Ecological benefits of process. Staff was very helpful in answering questions.
