About Return Home
Auburn, WA 98001
Return Home is a green funeral home offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to burial and cremation. We specialize in Terramation (Human Composting) and we currently operate the largest and most transparent facility in the world. We began with the desire to offer a more earth-friendly alternative to traditional death care, and to empower families to make death care decisions that make our world a better place. On our journey so far, we have realized that people resonate with our mission because many of us feel an innate desire to return to the earth when we die.
