How human composting works in Boise, ID
Boise has always had a deep connection to the land that rises up around it. Whether you've hiked the nearly 200 miles of trails in the Ridge to Rivers system through the sagebrush-covered Boise Foothills, walked the 25-mile Boise River Greenbelt from Lucky Peak to Eagle along the water's edge, or climbed Table Rock for panoramic views of the Treasure Valley below, 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.
Boise 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 Boise residents.
