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. "

#HumanComposting sounds beautiful. Becoming part of the garden you loved, or the gardens of loved ones, feels right.

#CaitlinDoughty of #AskAMortician has a very informative video on it.

[Humor?] And what to do after we #YeetTheRich? Human remains are compostable -- but they have to be buried deep into a compost pile!

"Seven states have legalized human composting to date, including Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Vermont, and New York. It took California lawmakers three tries to pass a law to do the same, but it won't take effect until 2027."

People: "I hope I go to heaven after I die"

Me: "I hope the most diverse little ecosystem grows from the soil of my decomposed body - just the coolest plants, fungi, little insects, birds, animals, microbes just thriving on my remains…”

Human composting, a process that turns human remains into soil, is a final gift to the Earth that some people choose for their end-of-life plans. Legal in several US states, the process involves placing the body in a vessel with organic materials that foster decomposition by microbes. The resulting soil can nourish plants and trees, creating a memorial for the deceased and reducing the environmental impact.
