Earth Funeral Featured in The News Tribune: Looking at Death in a Positive Light [iEbIjD3KLzn]
@TacomaNewsTribune spoke with Earth Funeral about soil transformation, also known as human composting, and the families in Washington choosing this natural alternative to burial and cremation. For one customer, planning ahead brought unexpected peace of mind. A lifelong gardener, she says the process feels like a continuation of the work she's always done: planting trees, caring for the land, being a good steward of it. Choosing to have her remains composted, she says, felt like the friendliest thing she could do for the earth. Soil transformation, also called human composting or natural organic reduction, gently transforms a body into approximately 200 to 300 pounds of nutrient-rich soil. Earth Funeral gives families the choice of taking that soil home or donating it to conservation projects. Some of that soil goes to Earth Funeral's conservation lands near Crocker Lake, on the Olympic Peninsula, land set aside specifically to give the soil an ecological benefit for the families who choose not to take all of it home. Families may keep their loved one's soil to plant a tree, care for a garden, or share it with others, or donate all or part of it to help restore natural landscapes. We recommend following all applicable local rules and regulations before placing soil on public or private land, as these vary by location.
