Derci was built by artists, operators, and hospitality professionals who bring the same intention to end of life care that we have long applied to creating meaningful experiences amongst the living.
Derci exists to make green burial and aquamation the standard, not the exception.
We partner with funeral homes, cemeteries, and deathcare providers to make aquamation equipment accessible, without the capital barriers that slow adoption.
