Human Composting Offers Green Alternative To Burial And Cremation

[@TineTineBean]

@2:55 how could the Catholic Church be against this? As a Catholic I don't understand. Our Bible literally says ashes to ashes dust to dust. Genesis 3:19 "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." This is one of many references that our physical bodies are meant to return to the Earth.

[@ChristosAnesti33]

You are meant to be buried, you aren’t meant to be turned into fertilizer. You should really be careful with how you interpret the Bible and then further spread around this misinformation. This is the Word of God. Turn on your brain

[@takearight.]

Right? They’re big on land ownership..

[@laerwen]

The Catholic Church unfortunately seems dead set on providing clients for the funeral industry in the most wasteful and anti-ecofriendly manner possible. There's nothing undignified about returning to nature. I suspect that it has to do with the resurrection - why they didn't allow cremation for a long time. If god is so big, I think god will have no problem putting people's bodies back together regardless of what we mortals do with the organic matter.

[@godzilla964]

Because they make big money on “traditional” burials.

[@khalidbinwaleed5072]

[@miken7629]

We have 8 billion people in the world. This is more practical than occupying a plot of land for eternity. Reminds me of the movie "Water World" where they were making precious dirt. I think I would prefer my body becoming something useful after I die. Then maybe plant a tree over my remains. Something like Walnut, something that produces food.

[@AdamSPARTAN76]

Strange that the same people who oppose this would prefer to be pumped full of toxic chemicals, put in a box made of more toxic chemicals and then left in this decayed state forever making the ground around hazardous and unusable.

[@stephaniec3563]

I oppose this, just like I opposed the clot shot all of the sheep lined up for. I'm not worried about chemicals post death. And if the crazy left are so concerned about the environment, how come they aren't demanding politicians not fly in private jets? Also, what about the sheep still wearing masks and leaving them in the streets and in the water? I see the filthy masks everywhere and they aren't biodegradable.

[@takearight.]

Cremation is much cheaper and cleaner. Wouldn’t surprise me that the gov will ban graveyards..$$$$$$$…. More free land for them to take.. they could call it “blight”..

[@jamielingenfelter5206]

I would love to live in a world where our forest or our cemetery each tree represents where a persons organic soil has been scattered so each tree is a different person. The trees would be marked, and the benefits would be outstanding, larger and larger forest, as life goes on

[@Teenywing]

The only person who should choose wether the option is “dignified” is the person and/or family. Not the church. Please.

[@WhistlesToAnimals]

The Church is against it because they won't profit off of it. The Church makes lots of money by having the traditional type of funerals, including selling plots. This is a whole industry that profits them, but of course they will make it sound as though their concerns are about "respect" or "dignity" or something other than their real concerns.

[@laerwen]

This is the right take. This is all about the money made hand-in-hand with the traditional funeral industry.

[@TineTineBean]

If it's legal where you live and the authorities have been properly notified that the person died under non suspicious circumstances, then you were free to bury your dead in your backyard. However, considering most of the population lives in large cities and doesn't have access to sufficient land, human composting is a great option.

[@punapeter]

@@swimgirl24 if, no duh

[@pohanahawaii]

🕵 Unless you have an estate with large land, it might lower your property resale value considerably since home buyers don't want to buy a house with human bodies buried in the backyard. 2) It's actually legal in Guam, Samoa, Southeast Asia countries, etc. Not unusual at all to have a relative's grave right outside their windows but kinda creepy for the rest of us.

[@y2.1kapocalyptic2]

This is a great option for me, I don’t want to be in a body collecting field “Cemetery”. Our current culture on disposal of human remains is unnatural, complicated, and expensive. My loved ones will know this is my request for my disposal 😇

We need this to become the new normal and at $500, all inclusive, it would. Also, vertical tube burials. 25 bodies per tube, a 3- 6 foot cement cap between each set of remains, this would take up far less cemetery space. Wood elaborate coffins serve only the funeral parlor. The dead dont feel feather pillows, calf leather and kiln dried KOA wood. Upcycle, recycle, rinse, repeat

[@Lakota828]

Agree in general. Mostly regarding price and waste of expensive materials for caskets.

Does anyone maybe know what happens to the bones? Since bones are made of mineral, and are not compostable.

[@fenian123]

The human composting process breaks down bones and teeth through a combination of microbial and mechanical means. Microbes do the primary work of human composting. By controlling the ratio of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and moisture, human composting creates the perfect environment for microbes and beneficial bacteria to thrive. These microbes are assisted by mechanical steps to help complete the transformation into soil. Recompose staff rotate each Recompose vessel at several points during the process to ensure thorough aeration and decomposition, which helps to break up any remaining bone fragments and teeth.

[@graikonungr7502]

Might depend on the process used. One company I looked at removed the bones after several weeks, ground/broke them down into small pieces, then returned them to the soil.

[@rso1411]

They seal coffins so the embalming fluid doesn't leak out and poison the ground water. Modern funerals and burials require excessive resources.

This is totally wrong, the body, should at least be in a biodegradable container, not just buried in a cloth, and then the remains used for fertilizer, totally wrong.

Step 1. Remove fertilizers from the market. Step 2. Tell people they are a carbon footprint. Step 3. Increase in deaths. Step 4. Turn our feet into compost. Step 5. Fertilise the soil of one of the biggest farm land owners in the US.
