How human composting works in Whidbey Island Station, WA
Whidbey Island has always had a close relationship with the water and forests that surround it on all sides. Whether you've hiked the 38 miles of trails through Deception Pass State Park across the iconic bridge where Puget Sound and Skagit Bay meet, walked the Bluff Trail at Ebey's Landing for panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains, or explored the old-growth forest trails of South Whidbey State Park along the island's southwestern shore, 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.
Whidbey Island Station 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 Whidbey Island Station residents.
