How human composting works in Flagstaff, AZ
Flagstaff has always had a profound connection to the land that rises above it. Whether you've hiked the trails of the Kachina Peaks Wilderness through aspen groves and alpine tundra toward Humphreys Peak, Arizona's highest summit at 12,633 feet, explored the ponderosa pine forests of the world's largest contiguous ponderosa forest surrounding the city, or watched the San Francisco Peaks glow at sunset from the trails of Buffalo Park, 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.
Flagstaff 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 Flagstaff residents.
