Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that creates a state regulatory process for “natural organic reduction,” or transforming human remains into soil. California is the fifth state to legalize human composting.
: it was used in 57.5% of deaths in 2021, versus a 36.6% burial rate, the association said.
"Most people who are coming to us who have had a death in their family, and are choosing this, are doing so because their lived values of environmentalism and care for the earth are important to them," Heckel said. "So they are choosing this as a way to give back to the earth and to be more environmentally earth friendly."
The process, the conference wrote, “reduces the human body to simply a disposable commodity. The practice of respectfully burying the bodies or the honoring the ashes of the deceased comports with the virtually universal norm of reverence and care towards the deceased."
