How human composting works in Mesa, AZ
Mesa has always had a close relationship with the desert landscape that surrounds it. Whether you've hiked the trails of Usery Mountain Regional Park through saguaro forests with views stretching to the Superstition Mountains, kayaked or tubed the Lower Salt River while watching wild horses graze along the bank, or explored the volcanic cliffs and legendary terrain of the Superstition Wilderness along the Apache Trail, 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.
Mesa 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 Mesa residents.
