How human composting works in Folsom, CA
Folsom has always had a close relationship with the American River and the Sierra foothills that rise above it. Whether you've hiked or cycled the 32-mile American River Bike Trail from Folsom Lake all the way to Old Sacramento, kayaked the calm waters of Lake Natoma below Folsom Dam where crews race on weekend mornings, or explored the 95 miles of trails through Folsom Lake State Recreation Area from shoreline oak woodland to the rocky canyon of Salmon Falls, 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.
Folsom 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 Folsom residents.
