How human composting works in St. George, UT
St. George has always lived close to the red rock landscape that surrounds it. Whether you've scrambled through the slot canyons and sandstone formations of Pioneer Park above the city, hiked the trails of Snow Canyon State Park through black lava fields and vermillion cliffs just north of town, or explored the ancient desert trails of the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve as the sun sets the canyon walls on fire, 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.
St. George 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 St. George residents.
