Recompose

“There’s just so much of the way Recompose does business…they’re very gentle, very knowledgeable, and extremely respectful. Everything about the process was just really gentle.”

“My father planted trees at our property and asked to have the soil put around them when he passed. It was his favorite place. He’ll grow there with the trees, and we’ll always know he’s there.”

“Literally every single step in this process just felt so meaningful and so bright. I expected for it to be a gut-wrenching process and that wasn’t my experience of it.”

“Everything was handled professionally and I was educated in the process. The laying-in ceremony was beautifully done and my family is forever grateful for Recompose. I really can’t say enough about how well Morgan treated me and my family. Just amazing!”

“We had no idea the profound significance receiving the soil of our son for our personal use would have. We used it to plant a dogwood tree in our yard that can be seen from his childhood bedroom. Our yard has become a spiritual place where we go to talk to our son while he, in turn, nourishes his dogwood tree. Thank you for this beautiful gift.”

“Recompose deeply appreciates the emotional meaning of the service they are providing. Everything they do speaks directly to that meaning. From the serene “spa like” experience, to the thoughtfully designed containers, the message is always that there is beauty even in the unthinkable. It is a process that has provided some comfort to my family while helping us grieve.”

“The staff are skilled, compassionate, and have an innate ability to hold sacred space. From the time of my inquiry to the final funeral I was treated with respect and great kindness. This was a perfect way to honor my husband. The funeral service was done with such care that many people felt it was the most moving funeral they have ever been to.”

“Imagine nourishing a flower, a tree, or a forest ecosystem as the last material thing that you do here. Thank you Recompose for supporting dad in his final earthly gesture.”

“Thank you to the whole team from start to end of this process. It’s been such a warm and supportive experience in a world that’s been so difficult to navigate and unfamiliar to me. I can’t express my gratitude enough to the whole Recompose team for taking care of not only Justin, but also me. It meant a lot.”

“I attended the Zoom Laying-In Ceremony yesterday for Lily. I would like to thank you for such a wonderful end-of-life presentation and a meaningful goodbye to a very special person. It was uplifting to know that you provided a perfect ending to all she believed in.”

“Recompose was the perfect choice for my brother. The staff were compassionate, turning an industrial process into a meaningful ritual our family cherished. His soil is now nurturing trees in gardens all across the Northwest. I talk with him every time I am weeding underneath my own trees. I love thinking of him spread under the roots of so many trees across the country.”

“I look forward to having my husband’s soil and knowing that he will live on in the soil life, the plant life, the trees, the habitats that he will provide as things grow thanks to him. I believe in what you are doing, it is the best way to live sustainably and in a regenerative way.”

“We are so grateful to Recompose for taking loving care of our father in his passing. The attention and love they shared in all aspects was breathtaking. We love that he is helping to regenerate this dear planet.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a beautiful ceremony to send off my mom yesterday. It was moving, quiet, and meaningful. Members of the family called me after to say that the experience was healing for them in ways they had not expected.”

“My mother chose composting as a way to give back to the earth. Recompose was amazing through all of it. Our family had a small viewing and they did an amazing job. Elaine was our guide through the process. She explained what to expect and was incredibly gracious and respectful. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you.”
