Transportation to Recompose

When you are ready, we’ll arrange transport of your loved one into our care. Transportation arrangements to Recompose are dependent on location.

Within Washington and the Portland Metro Area

At the time of death, our Services team will coordinate transportation and logistics to bring the body from the place of death into our care at Recompose.

• If your person dies in a hospital or care facility, you can let the facility staff know that Recompose is your funeral home of choice, and they will notify us of the death for you.
• If your person’s body is at home, let us know when you are ready for Recompose to arrange to have your person safely delivered into our care.

Transportation of the body to Recompose is complimentary from anywhere within our service area.

Outside Our Service Area

If you live outside Washington or the Portland metro area, we’ll coordinate transportation with a local funeral home. Many Recompose clients come to us from out of state, and our team has extensive experience guiding clients through the process.

• If you have not yet selected a local funeral home, we are available to help research options for you.
• If you have already selected a funeral home you’d like to work with, we will coordinate with them to have your person safely delivered into our care.

The cost of transportation to Recompose from outside our service area is determined and billed by the local funeral home you choose to work with.
