Terramation Services
What is Terramation?
Terramation, also known as Human Composting, is the gentle, natural process of transforming human remains into fertile soil. The natural organic reduction process is accomplished through the use of microbes that are present in everyone, combined with moisture and oxygen.
Over the course of about 60 days, these elements interact with the body to break it down gradually, resulting in nutrient-rich soil that can be used for various purposes. During this process, no chemicals or other outside interventions are used to interfere with or alter the natural decomposition process.
Why Do Families Choose Terramation?
Many families choose terramation because it’s a natural organic reduction process that gradually returns the body’s nutrients to the soil, unlike other methods, like cremation. Terramation only uses natural methods of preservation, avoiding chemicals that can be harmful to the earth. The resulting soil can then be used in meaningful ways, such as planting trees or flowers.
With terramation, families can select a final act that enriches the earth, is gentler, more ecologically friendly, and lends itself to unique, atypical rituals and celebratory opportunities, which differ from traditional funerals.

Tom, Sean, Rachel, Chloe and the rest of the crew were phenomenal for the funeral we had. Everything was handled promptly, perfectly and professionally. Our loved one is now at peace.
My Family recently made funeral arrangements for our Mother. Tom, Jesse, and Brooks provided much compassion and care during the entire process. Every detail was taken care of and the day of the service went beautifully. Our family highly recommends BONNEY WATSON.
... Everything was seamless and I feel that the wishes of my loved one, who cannot speak for themselves any longer, were heard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooks and BONNEY WATSON. I'm grateful I have them now.
