How human composting works in Redwood, OR
Redwood sits in the Rogue River valley where the river, the forest, and the mountains all converge on the edge of Grants Pass. Whether you've hiked the Cathedral Hills trail through spring wildflowers above the valley, walked the Rogue River Greenway along the wild and scenic section of the river past old-growth forest and historic mining sites, or explored the mossy canyon and cascading waterfalls of the Limpy Creek Trail in the Siskiyou National Forest, 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.
Redwood 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 Redwood residents.
