How human composting works in Moorhead, MN
Moorhead has always had a close relationship with the Red River of the North and the prairie that surrounds it. Whether you've walked the riverside trails along the Red River as it flows north toward Canada, explored the tallgrass prairie and wooded river banks of Buffalo River State Park, or seen prairie wildflowers bloom across the Bluestem Prairie Scientific and Natural Area, 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.
Moorhead 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 Moorhead residents.
