How human composting works in Bemidji, MN
Bemidji has always had a close relationship with the lakes, pines and waters of Northern Minnesota. Whether you've walked the bog boardwalk at Lake Bemidji State Park, biked the Paul Bunyan State Trail through pine forest and lake country, or stepped across the headwaters of the Mississippi River at Itasca State Park, 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.
Bemidji 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 Bemidji residents.
