Transforming human remains into soil
$675,911.30 Raised
Reasons to Invest
- We built the first large-scale Terramation™ facility in the world and are prepared to rapidly expand as more states legalize the process.
- Our facility opened in June 2021, during which time we’ve served dozens of families. We’ve spent the last 3 years investing in and developing a scientific process and proprietary technology that allows us to transform human remains to soil in just 60 days.
- The traditional funeral market is a $20 billion industry that offers just two services, burial and cremation. Meanwhile, 52% of Americans nationwide express interest in green funeral options.
Overview
Returning Remains to the Earth Through Terramation™
Return Home’s Terramation™ process gently transforms human remains into rich, fertile soil, allowing families an environmentally-positive way to return their loved ones back to the earth.
Return Home has built the first large-scale Terramation™ facility in the world. Our Auburn facility is capable of terramating 74 bodies per month, or almost 900 decedents per year. Most importantly, we have a growing, passionate base of supporters who are actively integrating Terramation™ into their death planning, and spreading the word through their social networks.
As Terramation™ becomes legalized in states across the country, Return Home is prepared to fill this new, expanding market. Based in Auburn just 20 minutes south of downtown Seattle, we are fully operational and preparing to roll out across the U.S. as more states pass legislation.
The Opportunity
A $1B Industry
The timing for Terramation™ could not be better. In May 2019, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed SB 5001, which allows for natural organic reduction as a disposition option for human remains. The new law came into effect on May 1, 2020. Washington is the first state to ratify natural organic reduction, and Oregon and Colorado followed suit just one year later. When Massachusetts, Illinois, California, and New York approve Terramation™, this new legislation can open up an enormous market, a 10% share of which would result in yearly revenues of over $350M, and a market value in the $1 billion range.
The Problem
Cremation and Burial are Environmentally Unsustainable
Put simply, most Americans do not have access to an earth-positive death care method. This means that most families must choose between burial and cremation, both of which are environmentally unsustainable.
As of 2020, cremation and burial accounted for 56 and 37.9 percent of U.S. disposition, respectively. Cremation is growing at a very rapid clip and is expected to account for 69.5% of total U.S. dispositions by 2030. (Source)
Cremation is growing for a number of reasons. The first is that it is considerably cheaper than burial. Second and most troubling is the fact that many people perceive cremation to be kind to the earth. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Excuse the bad pun, but the way we dispose of our dead is killing us.
Return Home is leading the charge to provide funeral services that do not squander precious environmental resources.
The Return Home Solution - Terramation™!
We at Return Home believe that when we die, every one of us should have the right to return to the earth without poisoning it.
Our proprietary Terramation™ process transforms human remains into soil in just 60 days. Our research indicates that we require just 10% of the energy normally used during the cremation process to complete one full Terramation™. Better yet, the soil produced is marvelously fertile and can be used to revitalize the earth. Cremated remains are essentially inert, charred carbon and offer no more nutritional value to the land than a bucketful of sand.
The Market
Innovation in a Large Market
The funeral industry is a $20 billion market. (Source) The business has not had a disposition method become mainstream since cremation was introduced in 1960.
However, the desire for innovation is there, with 52% of adults saying they would be interested in green funeral options. (Source)
* Source
With legislation in multiple states recently approving Terramation™, a whole new market segment has suddenly opened up. Washington State, Oregon, and Colorado have all officially legalized Terramation™, and California, New York, Illinois, Delaware, and Massachusetts are expected to follow in the next 12-24 months. Return Home is positioned to be the market leader in this expanding sector.
* WA, CO, and OR have all ratified. MA, CA, NY, DE, and IL we believe should ratify in the next 12-24 months.
THE Solution
Technology to Implement Terramation™ on a Mass Scale
Return Home has built the first large-scale Terramation™ facility in the world, a hi-tech, 11,500 square foot, 74-vessel facility in Washington State, just 20 minutes south of Seattle.
We spent 2.5 years developing our science and bespoke equipment. Our Terramation™ process is fully developed and capable of transforming human remains into soil in just 60 days.
Return Home’s state-of-the-art facility is unlike anything currently on the market. Our HVAC system (nicknamed ‘Octopus’) moves oxygen through each of the 74 vessels and out of the facility, all the while constantly monitoring each vessel for temperature and airflow. This information is uploaded to the cloud and monitored by our operations team around the clock.
Almost every piece of equipment in the facility is custom designed and fabricated. Every step in our process has been carefully thought through, and we’ve created a proprietary technical infrastructure capable of efficiently assisting us through every step of the Terramation™ process.
Our facility is fully operational, and we have already begun accepting decedents and returning soil back to families since June 2021.
We’re More Than Just Technology
While we have focused intensively on our scientific process and technical capability, these are actually just a means to a much more important goal.
Visiting Return Home is the brightest thing many of our families experience during some of the darkest times of their lives.
What exactly does this mean?
- TRANSPARENCY: Anyone can visit our facility and see what we do first-hand. We are in the business of winning hearts and minds. The more transparent we are, the more people can understand why Terramation™ is so important for the health of our planet.
- DIGNITY: Every decedent is treated with love and respect. Our rule is simple - if this was our own mother, brother, grandmother, or son, what would we want for them? This means every decedent gets bathed, their hair washed, and are dressed in a compostable gown. It means that our team gently hits a gong when we close the lid on each vessel, and take time to speak the person’s name and wish them a safe journey.
- INTEGRITY: We are here to explain every part of the process, and to ensure our families understand how much we value the fact that they trust us with their loved ones. We answer every question be it from a 7-year-old child, or an 85-year-old grandfather of 5.
- Most importantly, we never forget that our primary purpose is to serve our families at their time of greatest need. The below video explains just how much this means both to us and the families we serve.
The Process
Phase 1 - Laying in: The body is placed in a sealed, environmentally controlled vessel and surrounded by an organic mixture composed of sawdust, straw, and alfalfa
Phase 2 - Terramation: The body quickly rises to between 145-160°F, and the microbes in the body become super-active, transforming the body to soil in just 30 days.
Phase 3 - Breathing: The soil is then placed in a separate container and allowed to cool and breathe for a second month.
Phase 4 - Life Grows on: After 60 days, the soil is ready to give back to the family! Any soil the family wishes to donate will be scattered at Return Home’s 8 acre greenbelt location.
The terramated remains are then ready to be delivered to the family to use as they wish. The soil can be used to plant a memorial garden, a grove of trees, or donated to nurture land in need of revitalization.
Competitive Landscape and Pricing
Our scientific process and proprietary technology allow us to serve the market on an unprecedented scale.
While there are 3 other companies that offer Terramation™ services, none are yet capable of operating on scale, with a current capacity of 10, 5, and 2 vessels respectively.
Our business model is simple – we charge $4,950 for our Terramation™ service. This includes picking up the body, filing death certificates, transforming the body into soil, and scattering any additional soil on our 8-acre greenbelt location in Kent, WA. We also offer an optional $500 laying-in service.
Why Invest
Leading the Movement for Green Burials
We see this as a significant opportunity to lead the way in the first technological advance in the multi-billion funeral business in 60 years. We intend to be the leading provider of Terramation™ services in the United States.
Washington, Oregon, and Colorado have already ratified Terramation™, and our goal is to move quickly into these markets over the next 24 months. We also expect a number of additional states to ratify in the next 1-2 years, and we will expand to those states as well.
Our Plan
2022 - Invest heavily in marketing, solidifying Return Home as a market leader in Terramation™
2023 - Build 2nd facility in Colorado or Oregon
2024 - Build 3 facilities
2025 - Build 5 facilities
2026 - Build 10 facilities across the U.S.
By 2026, we have set a goal to be running 20 Terramation™ facilities across the country.
Our Team
Return Home’s team is truly what sets us apart. We are a group comprised of soil scientists, electrical engineers, funeral directors, compost experts, mechanical engineers, and construction specialists.
Return Home ensures that our last act on this earth is to give back and create new life. We strive to be the brightest thing that happens to families during the darkest times in their lives.
Join us as we provide a gentle, eco-conscious process that allows all of us to Return Home when we die.

Return Home is an end of life service that gently transforms the human body into soil after death. Our proprietary Terramation™ process is an innovative, environmentally-positive alternative to traditional death care. Terramation™ turns human remains into soil that supports new life and promotes healthy ecosystems. For centuries, conventional burial and cremation have been the only two choices available, and both are environmentally unsustainable. One cremation alone burns as much fuel as a roundtrip drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, while in the United States we bury enough wood to build 24.5 million homes. Return Home’s process is a revolutionary, future-forward alternative that ensures that our last act on earth is to enrich and improve it.

What assurances are there against fraud, which seems incredibly easy to do. Not just assurances that Return Home protects its customers from misdealings but the industry itself. Say another company starts up in the industry, is discovered to be just cremating bodies at less cost and then sending a bag of dirt to families... That would do great damage to share values industry-wide, wouldn't it?

Hello, I have been following the development of human composting very closely, both from a customer and an investor's point of view. To have an environmentally positive alternative to the tradition route is amazing!
I understand the carbon savings compared to legacy funeral options, but have you studied the environmental impact of terramation? How much electricity does your facility use / how much water does the compost need / what energy does the HVAC need... etc?

"4" again is considered an unlucky number, especially in Asian cultures!! In Chinese, it sounds and has the connotation for death!!! You know that!! Why hide it??!!! You put it out there. Look it up. Speak to Chinese and Koreans. It is ironic that you are campaigning and promoting a product that suppposedly cares for proper treatment of those who have passed on, but think it is alright to offend Asian cultures. Your CEO, who is part Asian, should know better.

Hello, I am interested as both a customer and investor in your product. However, I aim to be as ethical as possible with my money. One of the articles describing your product says that you have engaged scientists to fine-tune the NOR process using pigs for the research. How are the pigs obtained for the research and do they die under natural causes prior to being used for the research? Thank you.

How will this process work in other states? Do you plan on having locations everywhere it is legal? Or following a service will the funeral home ship the body to you in Washington? If that is the case how is the expense and logistics of shipping 500 lbs of soil back across the country handled? Thanks.

I support your ambition. Your record is impressive. Your plan seems solid, making you the front runner. Statistically, the timing is right for Terramation.
But, I have 2 concerns that are holding me back.
1. The cost of Terramation is 5 times the cost of cremation.
2. You stated there are 3 competitors who lag behind in available units. What is there to prevent one of them from licensing their process and equipment to existing funeral homes?
Let's say you build a 70 unit facility, complete with land lease for disposal, outside Chicago. According to expertise.com, there are 583 funeral homes in Chicago. If a competitor can license just 10% or 58 homes, with 2 to 4 units, they've positioned themselves to geographically dominate Chicago and, eventually, Illinois. They don't have to build any facilities, just provide paperwork and equipment. They profit from lease revenue and equipment sales; all from one location. If they can lease it to one or more of the big three, they'll get a huge revenue boost.
As I see it, the goal is to spread the decomposition method under the Terramation brand. Building facilities for demonstration purposes is too slow. You are in direct competition with the current industry. They'll work to stymie your progress. You'll be in an unending cycle of fund-raising to build depreciating facilities.
There are over 19,000 funeral homes in the U.S., who already have connections to cemetaries for disposal. And, people like to go where their family has gone before. Funeral Homes are suffering a loss of revenue because cremations are on the rise. Leasing means you're an ally, providing them new revenue sources. Now, they would be aiding in the passage of laws.
Licensing the brand and selling equipment seems more able to accomplish the goal. And a cash rich company with a small payroll could lead to Big Bucks Buy Out for an exit strategy.
I, readily, admit I might be wack on this. Is there something that prevents the process/equipment from being licensed? Does the math support the turtle over the hare?

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
