Our Terramation™ Process

What Is Terramation™ Or Human Composting?

Terramation™, also known as natural organic reduction or human composting, is the act of gently transforming human remains into life-giving soil.

Our process is the most transparent, gentle, and ethical, showing love and kindness to everyone that comes to our facility.

Laying In

Our laying in service allows families to bid their loved ones farewell in person or virtually while also adorning them with items that show love and celebrate their memory.
