The conventional american funeral industry is actively harmful to the Earth.

Burying enough metal each year to rebuild the Golden Gate Bridge, enough concrete to pave a highway from New York to Detroit, and placing enough embalming fluid in the ground to fill eight, Olympic-sized swimming pools. It’s a sobering reality...

…and there’s a better way.

A way that allows our bodies to become forests, restore prairies, heal watersheds, and create sanctuaries for the living. The way of our ancestors, whose choice to return their bodies to the Earth created ripples of regeneration that extended far beyond their own time. The way that fed wildlife, stimulated mycelium, and fertilized the soil that feeds us today.

When can (safely and legally) follow in these footsteps, and when we do, we honor the longevity and the health of the land over profit and convenience. We allow our death to become not just the end of our story, but a continuation of the greater story of Life. We come closer to being a people that understand reciprocity.

Mother Earth gives us everything, it’s time we give ourselves back.
