"I want to be a tree." It is a beautiful sentiment we hear often. Terramation turns this poetic wish into a tangible, living legacy. 🌳

In about two months, the process creates nutrient-rich soil that can be used to plant a forest or nourish a family garden. As one family shared, returning a loved one as soil planted under a crabapple tree allows them to feel that presence "in every bloom." Your final act can truly become a source of new life.

Meet Our Advance Planner: Karis

At The Natural Funeral, we believe death is a natural part of life. For Karis, our Advance Planner, this mission is deeply personal.

When Karis lost her mother unexpectedly, her family was left to navigate a mountain of decisions in the middle of fresh grief. "That experience is what inspired me to help families plan ahead," she shares. "I want to help people discover more natural, eco-friendly options before they are in the thick of a loss."

Karis is a grounding force for our families. Whether she is explaining Terramation or the gentleness of Water Cremation, she speaks from a place of experience and empathy.

A glimpse into Karis’s world:

Nature’s Peace: Growing up in Evergreen, the scent of pine trees remains her greatest restorer.

Signs of Life: She feels her mother’s presence whenever she basks in the light of a full moon.

Daily Grounding: She begins each day with the mantra: "I am open and available for miracles. I am aligned with ease, clarity and joy."

A Heart for Service: Beyond her work here, Karis is a Certified Cuddler for seniors, dedicated to the power of human connection.

Planning ahead isn't about focusing on the end; it's about giving your family the space to focus on memories rather than paperwork.

Ready for a gentle conversation? Karis is here to help you explore your options with zero pressure and total transparency.

Spring is a reminder that even in transition, there is a gentle way to be tended.

In the natural world, May is a time of tending to new growth. At The Natural Funeral, we believe that tending is also the heart of a good goodbye.

This month, we invite you to walk through our Arvada Care Center with our team. Our team is well versed in moving the conversation around death from a place of fear to a place of empowerment. During this tour, we will explain the grit and the grace of what we do—specifically our Reverent Body Care®.

We don’t use harsh chemicals or invasive preparation. Instead, we use warmth, essential oils, and a deep, quiet respect for the body’s natural return.

When we understand the process, the fear begins to fade, leaving room for peace.

Rooted in Nature. Grounded in Care.

Terramation is not just a method; it is a carefully guided biological transformation. In this process, the body is placed within a vessel called the Chrysalis™ alongside organic materials like straw, wood chips, and alfalfa.

Over several weeks, time-honored principles of natural organic reduction gently transform the body into Regenerative Living Soil™. It is a quiet, respectful transition that honors the body’s innate wisdom to return to the cycle of life.

Watch the process unfold in our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rnOttrW1Z4

We believe transparency brings peace. Join us for an upcoming tour of our Care Center to see the Chrysalis™ vessels firsthand: https://www.thenaturalfuneral.com/care-center-tours/

The Quietest Gift: Removing the Weight of "What if?"

In the first 24 hours of a loss, a grieving family is often asked to make over 100 difficult decisions. From a psychological perspective, this decision fatigue can often interrupt the natural flow of mourning. 🕊️

Advance planning isn't just about your own final act—it is a profound act of love for the people you leave behind. When you document your wishes for Terramation or a Natural Burial, you are removing the heavy weight of what if from your family's shoulders. You are giving them the space to simply be present with their memories.

Let’s speak the fear out of planning together:

7:15 PM | Grief ritual and candle making
8:15 PM | Immersive sound bath to soften and release

Please bring anything that makes you feel comfortable—a yoga mat, a warm blanket, or a photo of a loved one for our shared altar space.

This is a night devoted to tending the heart with compassion. We would be honored to have you in the circle with us.

What it Means to Practice Reverent Body Care

At The Natural Funeral, our commitment to the earth is matched only by our reverence for the person. We believe that the time between death and disposition is a sacred window that deserves to be held with gentleness.

Through Reverent Body Care®, we move away from industrial practices and toward a tradition of touch and presence. We anoint, we cleanse, and we tend to each person with the same dignity they carried in life. This isn't just preparation—it is a ritual of transition that honors the vessel that carried a soul. 🌿

Grief is often a lonely road, but it was never meant to be walked in isolation. When we try to outrun our sadness or keep it tucked away, we also lose our capacity for deep joy.

On May 21st, we are holding space for a sacred evening called From Grief to Gratitude. It is a time for ceremony, reflection, and sound healing. We are coming together to honor the wisdom that lives within our losses and to create a bridge toward remembrance.

If your heart feels heavy or if you are simply looking for a way to honor someone you love, you are welcome here. We will move through a grief sharing circle, a candle-making ritual, and end the night with a sound bath to help the body integrate the work we’ve done.

Did you know that Colorado is at the forefront of a gentle revolution in death care? While Natural Organic Reduction—or Terramation—is a relatively new choice in the modern world, it is rapidly becoming a legalized and cherished option across the country.

At The Natural Funeral, we are honored to be a leading voice in this movement, providing a path for those who wish to return to the earth naturally. Choosing an eco-conscious departure isn't just about following the law; it’s about following your heart back to the soil.
