Recompose Green Funeral Home
We’re a funeral home in Seattle serving clients throughout Washington State and across the country
Our state-of-the-art facility carefully orchestrates the Recompose human composting process while offering a beautiful space for friends and family to gather and honor the person who has died.
Unlike Any Other Funeral Home
Each detail in the design of our space and services offers a new kind of funeral home that inspires and comforts. As a testament to our unique approach, Recompose was voted Best Funeral Home in the Pacific Northwest in 2023 and 2024.
Exceptional Human Composting Services
Our Seattle location has 33 vessels housed in a large space we call the Greenhouse. Inside the hexagonal steel vessels, bodies transform into nutrient-rich soil. The sophisticated composting system ensures that the soil meets regulatory and internal thresholds for safety and quality. Recompose staff tend to the vessels during the 8 to 12 weeks a client is in our care. Learn how our human composting process works.
Customizable Ceremony Options
The Gathering Space is a beautiful, light-filled room for friends and family to gather for ceremonies and small services. Floor-to-ceiling windows in shades of green and yellow and a large tapestry of the forest invite nature into this urban sanctuary. The room has a lectern for speakers and a screen for slideshows.
At the center of the room is a white, hexagonal threshold vessel—a passageway to the Greenhouse.
Refined Death Care
Cedar is a serene space designed for clients to have a private experience with their person either before or after soil transformation. The room can be used for personal time in whatever way clients choose, including for private viewings or to perform hands-on care. Sessions in Cedar include amenities like shampoos and soaps, essential oils, hair brushes, linens, and a sound system.
We recognize that for many this is a new experience. Our licensed Services Specialists are available to assist and serve as guides as requested.
