See why families choose Earth

No one likes to think of 'end of life' planning, but I am glad that I looked into Earth Funeral. It gives me peace of mind that I am taking control of how my remains will be handled. I want simplicity, no funeral, no service just a return to earth. The team is great about answering any questions or concerns and they maintain great communication. I get updates and information on new facilities and any pertinent info about the company. The cost is very reasonable and payment plans are available. It's the way to go, literally!

I highly recommend Susannah Sprague with Earth Funeral. She was attentive to our needs and gave us personalized service that went beyond my expectations. She was prompt and knowledgeable when I had questions. Even set up a zoom appointment for us to discuss our wants, needs, and desires. She sent us sample contracts for me to go over before signing anything, even made changes when I felt the wording was more poetic marketing than contract steel. Overall, a great experience! I now feel confident my last arrangements will be carried out. Greg P.

My wife and I have always tried to be environmentally-conscious, including how our funerals would be managed. We were thrilled to find out that Earth offered a composting service that would bring our remains back to earth without a lot of damage to the environment. In fact, the compost created by our bodies would serve to replenish soil and still have composted remains for the immediate family, if they desired. Our experience with Earth has so far been very positive: from the very informative webinar to personal phone calls to follow-up emails, we have very happy with Earth and their process - so far, mercifully, we have not need it :). However, when that day comes, we are confident that the folks at Earth will do everything to support our final wishes. Earth has made the process look completely seamless, including how to handle the body and bring it to their facility. We are happy recommend them to everyone we know who is considering what their funeral process will look like.

Very helpful and professional, and I like what they said about their services. Well worth checking out to see if Earth Funeral is right for you burial planning.

I'm so sincerely happy that I chose Earth funeral! I was a little worried at 1st. I had assumed my husband and I would be cremated and it was difficult for me to change my mind. But composting actually helps the environment and leaves "no footprints". That's what I have always tried to do, so this was perfect. All my questions were answered immediately, we are in Pa. where they did not have a facility but they had my husband's body picked up and transported within I think it was 12 hours? Or sooner. After composting I was sent some of his soil and the majority of the soil was used in a reforestation project. I can't thank Earth funeral enough!

I heard about Earth funerals on the internet. After that I saw they offered a live webinar. After watching, my wife and I decided that it is the way we would like to go. I thought that the price was fair, considering my mother passed away in January this year with a pre arranged burial and it still cost over $8000 for the casket. Everyone i dealt with after the webinar was very helpful to answer any questions we had.

I chose this as a way of not just doing no harm but doing good. I love the idea of feeding a forest which in turn reduces carbon and adds oxygen.

I was unhappy with current options available posthumously for myself. I didn't want to be put in a box that will eventually leach formaldehyde into the earth. I didn't want cremation for aesthetic reasons & pollution of the air. I am a fan of leave-no-trace while alive & this gentle, useful solution is perfect. Pragmaticly I am satisfied that my funds are protected until I die. 100% satisfied & my children are pleased as well.

I have long been against chemical contamination of the environment, unnatural use of land space, and added stress for family members during burial. I recently relocated to Maryland to live with my daughter but, among the many things l left behind in North Carolina, was my intention to have a natural burial on my own land. While this remains possible, transferring across state lines can be burdensome. Burial in a Veterans cemetery without embalming remained an option; however, a vault is non-negotiable. I briefly considered aquamation, but kept delaying. When an article came across my digital newsfeed about Earth Funeral becoming available to Maryland residents, I knew immediately this was an alternative worth considering. I followed the link and read carefully about the process in the FAQ section. My partner still wanted to visit the facility and we seamlessly scheduled a site visit. Staff were welcoming and professional. I have no doubt that respect is very much a part of an Earth Funeral. This was the right choice for me and my family.

It has been my desire since high school to have my remains turned into the soil to fertilize plant growth and not take up any land; which, to me, should be for the living. Earth Funeral provides exactly this service. The preparation experience for this has been very professional, affordable, and comforting.

I went on a tour of the facility in Elkridge. I was impressed and was given a lot of information. This is the way to go for so many reasons. Do your research, you will be interested!

I am very happy to have made the decision to do an Earth Funeral. The whole process is earth friendly. Customer service was top notch. I would encourage anyone to check it out. It is a very future oriented, environmentally friendly way to dispose of your body after death!

Excellent service and care. I recommend it as a last gesture of peace to the environment.

I never had to call about any concerns. Carla was handling everything, allowing me to relax and grieve my beloved mom. I knew this was the perfect choice for my mom and she agreed. The gentle process is the Only Way to Go. My mom went onto Hospice and the time came to make arrangements, I was really happy to know that the hospice we were with, partnered with earth. The process is seamless. Now I have my mom home in the garden where she wanted to be. Thank you so much for making this experience, beautiful.

Savannah was outstanding in setting my wife and I up for the program - pleasant, helpful, patient, and professional.

This group is extremely professional and their process from beginning to end is efficient, well thought out and easy to follow. There is very little competition in this market so they could probably charge more, but their pricing is lower than any other form of funeral arrangements. I highly recommend Earth to everyone who will need this service...which is everyone.

All interactions with this company have been low to no pressure. Very informative and generous with their time in terms of answering questions. They made a difficult topic easier to deal with.

If you are exploring natural and sustainable alternatives to traditional burial, I highly recommend looking into Earth Funeral. Choosing human composting is a deeply meaningful way to return to the earth, and the team there makes the entire process incredibly accessible. From the very first interaction, their staff was both exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely warm. They took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and care, providing clear explanations that really put my mind at ease. It is clear they are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to guiding families through this gentle, environmentally conscious option with the utmost professionalism and respect. If you are considering this path, you will be in wonderful hands with their team

My experience with Earth Funeral couldn't have been more positive. This is such a huge decision in one's life with a lot of questions. They were all answered with such consideration and care by everyone. I am so grateful and thankful I found them!!

Very nice and helpful during a difficult time

Earth Funeral presented a plan that was exactly what I wanted. The staff answered all my questions, provided extra information & made the whole process pleasant & easy. I am completely satisfied with Earth & my family is happy too.

Having chosen an in-earth-type burial as the preferred end of life repository for our remains, my wife and I then looked for options to that end, for years. After attending their recent seminar, though, it was clear that Earth Funeral was the answer, so we made an appointment to speak with one of their counselors to answer any questions that may arise. Our Earth counselor, Tim Miller, walked us through the paperwork and patiently answered the few questions we still had, but he also took the time to explain the whole process, from a report of passing, through the physical process itself, all the way to remains amending the soil in the way we’d prefer. Exactly what we’d looked for. We were glad to get this checked off our bucket list. We’d finally found the method that meshed with our values and our wishes with nothing compromised.

I did research work on preplanning my funeral arrangements with companies that provide green burial, water composting and cremation. I chose Earth Funeral because it’s eco-friendly, practical and the least expensive compared to other kinds of services. Since I live in San Francisco, California, it is logical to choose them. Currently, their nearest facility is located in Nevada, and soon they’ll be opening up one in California. I feel good about my decision because the staff is very professional in all of my interactions with them. When I send an e-mail to them, or leave a telephone message for them, they respond to me in a timely manner.

Wonderful concept for heading to the last roundup. Great business model in taking care of everything. Since we travel a lot the "free shipping" from anywhere in the world is a reassuring arrangement😉. The price structure is reasonable. Their representative Christine is a true gem to work with. We are definitely feeling that we did the right thing here for ourselves and for our adult "kids" here. Onward & upward (hopefully), eh!

A growing company that aligns with our desire to dispose of our body in an ecological way. Composting takes us back to the earth. Their team is knowledgeable, helpful, and understands our desires to compost our bodies when the times come.

Terrific on every level - the Earth Funeral solution accomplishes my personal goals and fulfills my needs in a seamless and professional way. Well-trained and responsive staff, efficient and complete answers to my questions, and access to indepth info about the process, how it works and who it benefits.

In a word - “comfort” in knowing we have a plan that will follow our wishes.

Gentle system and earth friendly. If remains used to plant a tree, gives family a meaningful place to visit and reflect.

I've already mentioned it to immediate family and will tell others when I can.

Getting buried is a waste of money! The cost of a coffin, burial site and headstone is ridiculous! I have a burial spot on Long Island, NY, but I don’t want my bones resting there. I planned on being cremated, and having a friend scatter my ashes, but when I found out how much energy cremation uses, that did not make me happy. I didn’t feel great about being dressed in a shroud and tossed into a hole as my current partner prefers. Soil transformation seemed more sensible. I wish it had been an option for my husband who died 5years ago. I want to make higher payments to get this paid off as soon as possible, but I’m not sure if Homesteaders (sp) is open to that. That is the reason why I gave 9 stars instead of 10. If I get a response to my email from Homesteaders, I’ll feel better. I don’t really trust insurance companies.

Great customer service. My advisor was very patient, answered a lot of questions and didn’t push for a sale.

Would say 10 except that it’s expensive.

It was the most environmentally responsible choice, and it was the best way to lighten the load of those loved ones who will be carrying out my last wishes.

While the actual services haven't been performed yet, every step of the process so far has been smooth and professional with a high degree of caring. I have already informed my family and friends about Earth Funerals and have received positive, enthusiastic feedback and much interest for their own future arrangements

Earth was easy to work with and I feel this is the best way to put a body back to earth.

I had always planned to be cremated, but when I discovered the composting option offered by Earth Funeral, it was clearly much better suited to my personal wishes. An initial call answered all my questions – the representative was highly professional, knowledgeable and conversant, providing me with a wealth of information. The process was seamless and the price extremely competitive, even lower than I expected. Having this policy in place is a great relief, both to me and my daughters. As I told them, every day you delay is one day closer to when you’ll need a policy like this in place. Earth Funeral made it easier than I ever expected.

I am a climate advocate in Orange County for over a decade. My volunteer work is geared towards sustainability and Earth Funeral fits right in there. I have already started to spread the word so more people think of this for end of their journey on this earth and can help leave mother earth in a better shape.

I like the idea of going back to the earth. I choose you because you have a facility here, and because of your very informative seminars,

Most ecologically friendly option

I like earth because it is an environmentally friendly alternative to the present methods of disposing of the human body after death.

Our research and the info webinar convinced us to sign up. Fortunately, we've not used services beyond that initial sign up and we're waiting for the arrival of documents, but the process so far has been very good. We have already discussed our decision with some friends and they are very interested in learing more, so we've provided contact info to them.

I have already shared with friends and family!

It’s exactly what I want but I know it’s not for everyone.

It's an affordable natural process that gives back to the Earth - I am very supportive of this process.

I choose this form of burial because I am very comfortable with my remains being interred within a forest environment. I want to mix in with everything the earth has to offer.

The simplicity for my family. Reasonable cost. Resonates with my values of contributing, conservation and taking up space.

Excellent service / good rep / answers all my questions well!

I already shared earth with my sister and brother-in-law, and several friends. It is certainly the most sensible plan I've ever seen.

I have prearranged Earth Funerals for green burials for me and my husband because this method of care aligns with our beliefs and values. When I made arrangements for myself, I spoke to a representative who answered all my questions and talked me through the registration process. I recently arranged my husband's end of life care online by myself. The online process is very easy, especially having done it once before. Having completed these arrangements gives me peace of mind.

I want everyone to use Earth Funeral to help save planet climate!

I realized this very thoughtful, environmentally positive, beneficial way to go after life.

We believe in composting to help the earth. Earth is a growing company with a solid way to plan for the eventual earth friendly way of disposing of our bodies.

It is easy to make prepaid arrangements with Earth. The Earth method is very environmentally friendly. The folks at Earth have a very caring approach to customer service.

I wouldn’t have purchased your product if it weren’t something I’d be willing to tell people about, gladly.

It's an affordable option for final arrangements that you can plan for yourself. Earth services takes care of everything for you and that takes the stress off of family members.

We obviously believe in the whole concept of being friendly to the Earth. It has been a comforting experience having made the decision and now looking at life as the gift it is each day. We plan on putting our contract with Earth in a drawer and not calling for many years!

Because of my terrific experience with Earth Funeral. In fact, I've already told at least 3 people about it. 🤗

Something to look forward to. No rush though!

wonderful program. Chad very helpful and supportive.

The end result ticks all my boxes!

It is environmentally friendly and gives families a positive memory as they compost in creative ways. We also appreciate how efficient the program is set up to pick up the body and return the compost making it burden free for the family.

Your process Is in line my values. Also, your representative did an excellent job of explaining everything clearly and candidly; gave straight answers to all of my questions.

Just a great natural way to be returned to the environment

I knew from the moment I learned about earth that this was what I wanted for my end of life. Working with the staff has been wonderful. They patiently answered all my questions and put me at ease. I feel so at peace knowing my transition will be fully paid and my family members will have very few logistics to stress about. I also feel great knowing that I’m not contributing to processes that are terrible for the environment. I also feel that their costs are reasonable for the services they provide. I am so at ease knowing I will be returned to the earth naturally and eternally.
