How human composting works in Fairfield, CA
Fairfield has always had a close relationship with the open hills and wetlands that surround it. Whether you've hiked the 12 miles of ridgeline trails through Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park across 1,500 acres of blue oak woodland and grassland in the Suisun Valley, explored the volcanic rock formations and shaded groves of Rockville Hills Regional Park, or walked the trails along the edge of Suisun Marsh, the largest remaining contiguous area of coastal wetland in California, where over a million migrating ducks and geese descend each year, 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.
Fairfield 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 Fairfield residents.
