    In this episode Seth Viddal shares his journey of becoming aware of death and how it has impacted his life. He discusses his experiences with traditional funerals and the limitations he felt in the funeral industry. This led him to start The Natural Funeral, an organization that offers ecological funeral options. Seth explains the processes of natural organic reduction and water cremation, highlighting their environmental benefits. He also emphasizes the importance of creating meaningful rituals and the challenges of making these options more widely available.

    Seth has been an entrepreneur for most of his adult life. After serving in the Air Force during Operation Desert Shield, he designed and sold communication solutions for government intelligence agencies.

    Following the unexpected deaths of both of his parents and a younger brother, Seth was called to explore alternatives to conventional funeral services. In 2017, he sold his companies and went back to school at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. He helped open the doors to The Natural Funeral in Boulder County in 2019. They have since opened a second funeral home and a care center in Denver, Colorado, where they perform ecological dispositions.

    Seth and The Natural Funeral are transforming the funeral industry. They have expanded end-of-life care options available to Coloradans by bringing water cremation and terramation to the state. The Natural Funeral hosted the Inaugural Body Composting Conference in Denver in March 2023, which was the first global initiative to connect researchers, funeral professionals, legislators, mortuary science students, end-of-life caregivers, universities, and composting professionals.
