The Terramation Process

Leading the Green Transformation of the Funeral Industry

1. The Laying in Ceremony

The body is placed in a custom engineered Chrysalis Vessel™ with natural materials like straw, alfalfa, and wood chips. The sealed vessel is monitored for airflow, moisture, and temperature. Families may include funeral notes if provided.

2. Precision–Controlled Transformation

Beneficial microorganisms complete the natural reduction over 28 to 33 days, supported by controlled environmental conditions and gentle rotation.

3. Process Completion

The body becomes Regenerative Living Soil™, sterilized to remove pathogens, then moves to a 30 day climate controlled curing period.

4. 30-Day Curing

Soil rests for 30 days, allowing biology to slow and cool naturally while remaining safe and fertile.

5. Soil Returned or Donated

Families may receive one cubic yard of living soil for planting, or choose donation to conservation, flower farms, or nature preserves.
