Who we are

Wend & Root is a Maine-based start-up exploring human composting as a meaningful, eco-friendly alternative to traditional deathcare. Guided by reverence for the earth and the natural cycles of life and death, we aim to provide natural organic reduction services that allow bodies to return gently to the soil—nourishing new life and creating a regenerative legacy.

As a new business, we are committed to serving individuals and families who seek an intentional, sustainable way to honor the end of life. Our approach is grounded in care, transparency, and deep respect for both people and the planet.

We believe that how we leave matters—and that death, like life, can be full of purpose.
