Turn cherished memories into new growth. Through our partnership with Recompose, human composting uses wood chips, straw, and alfalfa in a sealed vessel to transform a body into nutrient‑rich soil in 8–12 weeks—using 87% less energy than cremation and preventing about one metric ton of CO₂ emissions. This living soil can then nourish memorial gardens or conservation lands, creating a truly sustainable tribute.
