Ashes to ashes, corpse to #compost: #GreenWoodCemetery to offer ‘human composting’ starting in 2027
By Kirstyn Brendlen
"In pursuit of a more eco-friendly future, Green-Wood #Cemetery is going back to basics.
"Starting next year, the storied cemetery will offer a new burial option: 'natural organic reduction,' also known as human composting.
"The process is fairly similar to run-of-the-mill composting. Bodies are sealed in specialized 'pods' on a bed of hay, straw and alfalfa. The pods — designed to regulate moisture and airflow — rock gently back and forth to help speed decomposition.
"After just 40 days, the contents of the pod break down into roughly 160 pounds of nutrient-dense soil, which will be used to support Green-Wood’s many plants and trees. "

Tonight, I attended #Plantasia, a concert at #GreenwoodCemetery. It featured several artists paying tribute to the "Plantasia" album by Mort Garson. The 1976 album was recorded for plants. (Think stoner Moog music.)
I met a man who was visiting his father's grave just before the cemetery closed for the concert. He was lost in the cemetery and came across the concert. He was like, "What is going on? People are partying on graves?!" I had to talk him down and explain it really wasn't a party.

#Photography #Fotografie #Cemetery #Statue #GreenwoodCemetery #DecaturIllinois
I really enjoy strolling through cemeteries when I visit places. The art you find can be pretty amazing. I love this statue. This one has been dubbed the most haunted in the state of Illinois. I personally think it's a cool place to hang out. But, I grew up in a *very* haunted house so nothing really bothers me.
