How human composting works in Key West, FL
Key West has always had a close relationship with the turquoise waters that surround it. Whether you've snorkeled the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, home to the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States, swum off the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, or traveled 70 miles west to the islands of Dry Tortugas National 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.
Key West 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 Key West residents.
