How human composting works in Reno, NV
Reno has always lived close to the land and water that define the high desert. Whether you've walked the cottonwood-lined banks of the Truckee River through downtown at Wingfield Park, explored the wildlife and wetlands of the Oxbow Nature Study Area just a mile from the city center, or hiked the trails above Galena Creek Regional Park toward the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, 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.
Reno 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 Reno residents.
