How human composting works in Prescott, AZ
Prescott has always had a deep connection to the granite landscape and pine forests that define it. Whether you've hiked the 5-mile Watson Lake Loop scrambling over 1.4-billion-year-old Granite Dells boulders rising from the lake's edge, cycled the Peavine National Recreation Trail along the historic railroad grade past Watson and Willow lakes, or walked the 56-mile Prescott Circle Trail through every major ecosystem surrounding the city, 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.
Prescott 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 Prescott residents.
