Last month, BONNEY WATSON had the honor of laying to rest our first terramated remains at Washington Memorial Park. This moment carried deep significance for not only us, but also the family who entrusted us with this final placement of their loved one. Our President, Laura Frampton, shared her reflections on the experience in a heartfelt social media post, highlighting our team’s ongoing commitment to helping families honor their loved ones through “time-honored customs and evolving new traditions.” At BONNEY WATSON, we proudly support each family’s unique wishes, honoring, celebrating, and remembering loved ones through thoughtful, personalized ceremonies.
The Terramation Process
What Is Terrmation?
Terramation, or human composting, is an earth-friendly final placement option that returns the body’s nutrients to the soil through natural decomposition. Often chosen by individuals and loved ones for its ecological benefits, terramation is a gentle alternative to cremation that has grown in popularity in recent years. After the terramation process, families often plant a memorial garden or tree, creating a living tribute that keeps their loved one’s memory close for years to come.
Terramation Placement at BONNEY WATSON
Terramation at BONNEY WATSON can be customized to reflect your wishes. In our most recent ceremony, the family combined the terramation process with a traditional cemetery placement, a beautiful blend of long-standing customs and new traditions.
Terramation placement at our peaceful Washington Memorial Park offers a final resting place that’s deeply connected to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by green lawns, vibrant flower gardens, and tranquil ponds, with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains to the west and Mount Rainier to the south, this setting provides a serene and meaningful tribute to your loved one.
