Human Composting in Washington

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.

Recompose is such a beautiful place to lay a loved one to rest. The thoughtful design is evocative of being in a forest and serves as a gentle, lovely reminder of our connection to the natural world. And I cannot say enough about the kindness, knowledge, and generosity of the staff. Highly recommend.

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!

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 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.

It's obvious that they are sincere in their mission to provide quality, ecological, compassionate care at the end of life. The space is warm and inviting. It's evident that the care and various possibilities are catered to the families' needs. An exceptional funeral home changing the death care landscape with gentle kindness.

The facility is so comforting and welcoming, you'd think it was a spa. Everything about Recompose is so well-thought, and I really appreciate the effort that the team has put into making the process of human composting more accessible, beautiful, and exciting.

Recompose is stunningly gorgeous. It’s a beautiful clean space, a careful and tender atmosphere, and luscious green imagery all around. The Gathering Space has tall ceilings and the illusion of sunbeams coming through the trees. Who knew it was possible to create such a sacred space in the middle of the industrial area of Seattle?

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.

The facility was so beautiful and peaceful, the decor was very thoughtful and invoked a strong sense of nature and elegance. The staff were incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the process. We left feeling so warm and hopeful for the future of natural death care. This really does feel like a crucial step into an eco-friendly future.

Recompose has created a thoughtful, warm, and inviting place. A healthy and meaningful connection that reframes our relationship to nature in our last act and supports a critical cultural shift.
