Body Composting

What is happening? In 2021, Colorado legalized human body composting. It is a green alternative to burial.

Why is this important? The natural funeral involved 6 months of preparation in a wooden box with wood chips,  alfalfa and straw. The first Natural Funeral in Colorado involved then mixing in wildflower seeds and scattering the human compost and seeds.

How will this be important? in 2019, Washington State passed a law supporting human composting.
