Recompose Community Fund

Recompose is committed to bringing ecological death care to as many people as possible. This includes providing our services at a subsidized rate to individuals who could not otherwise afford to pay our full price. This includes:

• Empathetic care and guidance from our Services team from the time of death through transformation into soil eight to twelve weeks later
• Transportation from place of death to a Recompose facility within our service area
• Sheltering of the body, if necessary, at our private, onsite cooled storage for up to four weeks
• Death certificate filing (Washington State residents)
• Obituary on the Recompose website
• Transformation of the body into soil
• Soil available for pickup or donation to conservation and restoration efforts, or a combination of both
• Completed soil packaged for pick up or delivery in durable, multi-walled paper bags

The Community Fund is supported by 100% of the profits from the Recompose shop, speaking fees paid to Recompose staff, and contributions from members of our community.

Contribute to the Fund

We created the Recompose Shop as a way for individuals contribute to the Community Fund. Purchase gifts and gear to help spark conversations about human composting or skip the merch and become a fund sponsor instead. 100% of profits from all purchases go to our Community Fund. Please note that contributions to the Community Fund are not tax deductible.

Recompose considers applications for Community Fund support once a death has occurred. The Community Fund is only available to Washington State residents. Funds are limited so please contact us for information on current availability at services@recompose.life.
