Care Center tours

Come see how it actually works.

Reading about terramation is one thing. Standing next to a Chrysalis™ vessel is another. Once a month we open our Care Center and walk small groups through everything we do there, slowly, with time for every question. Families tell us afterward that this is when it all became clear.

What you will see

The Chrysalis™ vessels

Our Gen-4 vessels, where terramation takes place. You can stand beside one, see how it is built, and understand what happens inside it over the weeks that follow a laying-in.

The water cremation area

Our water cremation system, up close. Most people have never seen one, and seeing it is usually the moment the process stops sounding technical and starts making sense.

The materials themselves

You are welcome to touch and examine the wood chips, alfalfa, and straw we use, and to see donated Regenerative Living Soil™, the finished result of terramation.

The liquid essence

The nutrient-rich bio-stimulant produced by water cremation, which families use for flower gardens, houseplants, and the land around them.

Who these tours are for

Everyone, honestly. You do not need to be planning anything. Most people who come are somewhere between curious and quietly thinking ahead, and both are welcome.

  • People thinking about their own arrangements, with no timeline and no hurry.
  • Families exploring options on behalf of someone they love.
  • Anyone drawn to ecological practices who wants to see the science firsthand.
  • Neighbors who are simply curious about what is available in Colorado now.

There is no sales pitch and nothing to sign. We will answer whatever you ask, including the questions people worry are impolite. Those are usually the good ones.
