How human composting works in Seattle
In as little as 45 days, human composting gently returns a body to the earth as nutrient-rich soil. This low-impact process, often called natural organic reduction, terramation, or soil transformation, combines organic materials with controlled airflow inside specialized vessels.
Once complete, families may choose to keep the resulting soil or donate any remainder to our conservation projects for vital land restoration. For Seattleites who feel a deep connection to the Puget Sound, the shores of Lake Washington, or the towering evergreens of the Cascades, this provides a final, carbon-neutral way to give back to the environment and ensure a living legacy.
