The Life We Leave

A greener way to say goodbye.

When Washington State legalises human composting, entrepreneur Micah Truman bets everything on a new vision of deathcare. But when the conventional deathcare industry resists, he is forced to pivot and learn to care for the grieving while transforming his business. With funeral directors Brie Smith and Katey Houston, he builds the first large-scale terramation facility, reshaping how we grieve and return to the Earth. What begins as an ambitious venture becomes personal as they rediscover human connection, ritual, and legacy.
