How human composting works in Kent, WA
Kent has always had a close relationship with the Green River and the valley it flows through. Whether you've walked or cycled the Green River Trail along 19 miles of riverside corridor from south Seattle through the broad Green River Valley, strolled the boardwalks and wooded meadows of Clark Lake Park with views of Mount Rainier across the open water, or watched for herons, bald eagles, and spawning salmon from the wildlife viewing towers of the Green River Natural Resources Area, there's a sense here that the natural world deserves care. Human composting reflects that same instinct.
Human composting is an environmentally-friendly alternative to cremation or traditional burial. Over a 30–45 day process, the body is gently transformed into nutrient-rich soil. It is sometimes referred to as soil transformation, body composting, natural organic reduction or terramation.
Kent families can choose how much soil they'd like returned, to plant, spread, or share, and the remainder is donated to conservation projects for growing trees, restoring habitats, and nurturing native plants. The process returns the nutrients in our bodies to the natural world, and helps protect the planet for future generations. Whether you need our human composting services now, or you're planning for the future, Earth Funeral is here to help Kent residents.
