What is Human Composting?

Human Composting, also referred to as Natural Organic Reduction, is a process of transforming human remains into soil, and returning back to nature in a much more eco-friendly way. The process involves human remains being placed in a steel vessel buried with straw, wood chips, alfalfa, and other biodegradable materials. Microbes break down the corpus into Nutrition-rich soil, family members can then use the compost like any other compost in their garden bed or garden pots. Decomposition takes around 30-45 days and is a much more eco-friendly option when compared with traditional cremation which releases greenhouse gasses. 

Cost of Human Composting?

Alright, Cremation is the cheapest option like $1,000 in the US and burial is the most expensive and starts around $15,000 and goes up. Human composting is a composting service that costs around $7,000 to complete the end-to-end process of turning human bodies into Nutrient rich soil.
