How human composting works in Corvallis, OR
Corvallis has always had a close relationship with the rivers and hills that surround it. Whether you've walked the paved riverfront paths of Willamette Park along the Willamette River as it ambles through the heart of town, hiked the five miles of trails through Bald Hill Natural Area into oak woodlands and hilltop meadows west of the city, or explored the forested slopes and viewpoints of Fitton Green Natural Area above the valley, 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.
Corvallis 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 Corvallis residents.
