We recently had the incredible honor of welcoming travel filmmaker and the amazing .the.mortician to Return Home to experience terramation firsthand.

Together, we explored the powerful job of human composting, the love families pour into this process, and what it means to return to the earth in the most natural way. Gareth’s latest video captures the heart of what we do as "A Day in the Life," and Lauren’s thoughtful presence made it all the more special.
