Terramation
The Natural Funeral 4th Generation Chrysalis Vessel
Terramation, or Natural Organic Reduction, is a transformative practice that gently converts human remains into nutrient-rich Regenerative Living Soil™ within 2-4 months. This process takes place in our advanced 4th generation Chrysalis vessel, ensuring dignity, eco-friendliness and precision in the terramation process.
Our skilled team at the Care Center actively monitors and controls airflow, moisture, and temperature throughout process, optimizing the conditions for transformation. Along with the remains, natural ingredients such as straw, alfalfa, and wood chips are layered with a proprietary tea to accelerate the transformation process. As the terramation progresses, the temperature within the vessel naturally rises, sterilizing and stabilizing the contents.
Upon completion, about a cubic yard of fertile Regenerative Living Soil™ remains. Families may choose to receive this soil to enrich their own gardens, use it in a personal tree planting, or allow The Natural Funeral to donate it to our partners at organic flower farms and land preserves. These partnerships help continue the cycle of life and sustainability, extending the environmental benefits of terramation to community green spaces and beyond. By choosing terramation, individuals make their final act one of profound environmental significance, fostering new life and offering the most positive ecological impact of any disposition option.
