A modern, eco-friendly alternative for Texas families

Human composting is an environmentally-friendly alternative to cremation and traditional burial. Over a 45-day process, a loved one is gently transformed into nutrient-rich soil. It is sometimes referred to as soil transformation, body composting, natural organic reduction or terramation.

‍

Families in Texas can choose how much soil they'd like returned, to scatter or plant, and the remainder is sent to regional conservation sites where it's used for land restoration projects, such as reforestation and growing trees. The process returns the nutrients in our bodies to the natural world, and helps protect the planet for future generations. When a Texas family loses a loved one, Earth works alongside a local funeral home to make soil transformation possible.

In thinking about what I want for my body after I die, I didn’t want it to be a chemicalized waste of space in an overpriced piece of real estate with a view. The idea of being turned into compost for my loved ones to grow something from my remains was a beautiful idea. Earth made enrolling in a prepayment plan very easy. They answered all of my questions and sent plenty of information to share with my loved ones.

This was the easiest decision I have ever made on a topic that is the hardest to discuss with family members. Earth - Green Funeral Home made the process simple, answered all my questions, and even accommodated an add-on service with ease and no complications.
