Return Home Information

Every year, we bury enough raw material to build the Golden Gate Bridge. Every single year. But instead of building bridges, we're burying this material underground. Return Home has an alternative. We provide an environmentally conscious end-of-life service called terramation. We use a proprietary Natural Organic Reduction (NOR) process that gently transforms human remains into rich, fertile soil. Families can take this soil and use it however they please - scatter it somewhere sacred, or use it to plant a tree. Return Home will donate any unclaimed soil to local land conservation projects in Washington. We are dedicated to taking the emotional stress out of end-of-life planning by making our service as simple, respectful, and affordable as possible. Return Home's mission is ensuring that our final act is one that heals the earth, not harms it, and one that continues the cycle of life.
