The ultimate green burial? Human composting lets you replenish the earth after deathwww.npr.org Only seven states have legalized human composting as a burial practice. That's why 29 percent of the bodies brought to Recompose, a composting facility in Seattle, come from out of state.

Certainly appeals to me. I don't want my body shot up with chemicals that leech into the soil eventually, or burnt to a crisp and my bone chips smashed. Let my body provide new life to the trees, ffs.

I recall reading that the Catholic church opposes the human composting bill in Illinois, I think on the grounds that there ain't no coming back from that.

It's hilarious that they talk up God as all-powerful and then turn right around and say that God isn't powerful enough to.... handle natural decay.

An expensive choice. Better, I think, to donate your cadaver to a teaching hospital.

Where can I do the egg tree burial?

We eventually become composting anyway. Will some be used to grow our food?
