How human composting works in Chino Hills, CA
Chino Hills has always had a close relationship with the open hills and wildlands that surround it. Whether you've hiked or biked the 90 miles of trails through Chino Hills State Park across 14,000 acres of rolling grasslands, oak woodland, and native California walnut groves in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains, watched for mule deer, bobcats, coyotes, and red-tailed hawks along the Telegraph Canyon Trail through the heart of the park, or climbed to San Juan Hill for 360-degree views stretching to the San Gabriel Mountains and Catalina Island on a clear day, 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.
Chino Hills 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 Chino Hills residents.
