Recompose Community Fund
The Recompose Community Fund helps provide human composting to individuals who couldn’t otherwise afford the full price of the service.
Everyone Deserves a Green Funeral
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:
- The transformation into soil
- Personalized support from our Services Team
- An obituary on our website
- Transport of the body to our Seattle location from King, Pierce, or Snohomish County, or to a future Recompose location if the body is within 30 miles
- Sheltering of the body, including cooled storage if necessary
- Legal funeral documents, including the filing of the death certificate if the death occurred in Washington or a state with a then-current Recompose location
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.
