How human composting works in Sedona, AZ
Sedona has always had a profound connection to the red rock landscape that surrounds it. Whether you've hiked the West Fork Trail deep into Oak Creek Canyon between narrow sandstone walls and natural arches, watched Cathedral Rock glow crimson at sunset over Oak Creek, or explored the five miles of trails through Red Rock State Park along the riparian habitat where herons and hummingbirds gather at the water's edge, 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.
Sedona 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 Sedona residents.
