How human composting works in Bisbee, AZ
Bisbee has always had a close relationship with the mountains and desert sky that surround it. Whether you've hiked the ridgelines of the Mule Mountains above town to Fissure Peak and Mount Ballard with sweeping views of the Sulphur Springs Valley below, explored the volcanic rock pinnacles and ancient canyons of Chiricahua National Monument to the east, or watched hummingbirds and rare birds pass through on the Sky Island migration corridor, there's a sense here that the natural world deserves care. Human composting reflects that same instinct.
Human composting is an environmentally-friendly alternative to cremation or traditional burial. Over a 30–45 day process, the body is gently transformed into nutrient-rich soil. It is sometimes referred to as soil transformation, body composting, natural organic reduction or terramation.
Bisbee families can choose how much soil they'd like returned, to plant, spread, or share, and the remainder is donated to conservation projects for growing trees, restoring habitats, and nurturing native plants. The process returns the nutrients in our bodies to the natural world, and helps protect the planet for future generations. Whether you need our human composting services now, or you're planning for the future, Earth Funeral is here to help Bisbee residents.
