Human Composting

Human composting, also known as natural organic reduction, is an eco-friendly body disposition method where a deceased person's body is transformed into nutrient-rich soil. The body is placed in a controlled, enclosed environment with organic materials like wood chips and plant matter, fostering microbial activity that accelerates decomposition. Over several weeks, the body breaks down naturally, turning into usable soil. This soil can then be returned to the family or given to the land, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact compared to traditional burial or cremation. It offers a respectful, eco-conscious alternative for end-of-life planning.
