Body Composting or Natural Reduction

Body Composting or Natural Reduction became legal in Colorado in 2021. The Natural Funeral was the first funeral home in Colorado to offer this service with its own Chrysalis composting vessel. The Body Composting process takes months rather than years. It transforms your last remains into Regenerative Living Soil™.

Water Cremation

Water cremation uses water and alkaline compounds to create a sterile, nutrient-rich liquid that serves as a super fertilizer. You can receive a small, token amount of this bio-nutrient back or donate it. Water Cremation really does allow you to “be a tree” because this most precious of fertilizers supports plant growth. The Natural Funeral’s first water cremation client in Boulder county told us, “I just want to be compost.” That was before she knew anything about alkaline hydrolysis. Clearly green burial is an efficient and simple way to return our remains to the earth (and we offer that too). But some of us are no longer wedded to the idea of having a burial plot that future generations will visit. We also may not want to take up space.

Green Burial

The Natural Funeral is a pioneer in the introduction and promotion of green burial in Boulder county, Colorado. We work with all cemeteries in Colorado to provide the greenest burial possible.

Cremation

We offer conventional flame cremation as a low-cost option to families who prefer this method of disposition
