Recompose Values

Honor Life, Honor Death

Death and life reveal the wisdom in each of us and in the cycles of nature. We see them as equal partners, each essential to the other, and consider this equality in every interaction, decision, and expression.

Inform with Clarity and Care

We embrace our responsibility to educate about end-of-life options. We prioritize straightforward communication. We consider the recipient and are attuned to their boundaries and/or needs.

Offer Comfort

We acknowledge death care has its challenges and we navigate them with presence and strength. We recognize every person is unique and comfort may have many forms. We endeavor to create space to process, to experience, and to foster healing.

Question Assumptions

We recognize unjust systems. We actively strive for equity and fairness. We reflect on past efforts and improve through iteration. We challenge conventional practices to elevate the dignity and positive impact of death care.

Lead and Inspire

We set the standard for human composting through integrity and quality. We uphold the collaborative and sustained work of transforming the death care paradigm.

Cultivate Potential

In soil. In ourselves. In our communities. In growth. In death. In life.
