How human composting works in Coeur d'Alene, ID
Coeur d'Alene has always had a profound connection to the water and forest that define North Idaho. Whether you've hiked the loop around Tubbs Hill along the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, cycled the 24-mile North Idaho Centennial Trail from the Washington state line to Higgins Point, or watched bald eagles soar above the lake during their winter migration, 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.
Coeur d'Alene 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 Coeur d'Alene residents.
