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!

My wonderful and amazing wife is in the media again for her work with human composting.

Human composting should be a third option after burial and cremation.

My wife, Tui Davidson, spent her volunteer energy to provide a not-for-profit funeral service for Canberra. Five years later, Tender Canberra are a successful operation.

On Thursday, I was honoured and proud to attend her graduation from a social entrepreneur course called GRIST from Mill House Ventures. Earthly Remains is her human composting initiative and, as well as working with partners to develop the technology, she is lobbying the ACT government to create legislation to allow it, as 13 US states have done.

The GRIST program supported the creation of a short video which explains it better than I can.

She is also looking to collect data about community attitudes and would appreciate your input on a survey found at the website below.

"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"

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.

I'm glad this is legal in New York State. It's how I wanna go. I find it comforting. #HumanComposting #AskAMortician https://youtu.be/_LJSEZ_pl3Y

New York OKs human composting law; 6th state in US to do so

The process goes like this: the body of the deceased is placed into a reusable vessel along with plant material such as wood chips, alfalfa and straw. The organic mix creates the perfect habitat for naturally occurring microbes to do their work, quickly and efficiently breaking down the body in about a month’s time

Congratulations to New York for legally recognising the benefits of Natural Organic Reduction (NOR). Informally known as human composting, this is a fast, effective and environmentally responsible option for body disposal.

Pioneer and creator of human composting, #KatrinaSpade of Recompose, has spent years refining NOR, which is a practical and sustainable after-death option for long-term issues surrounding space and energy consumption for both burial and flame cremation, and is lower-impact than Resomation (alkaline hydrolysis).

I personally cannot wait to see this option here in Australia, and around the world.

#newyork residents- please consider writing a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul to support a bill to legalize human composting. It's how I want to be taken care of, and it's a rather beautiful process.
