How human composting works in Tallahassee, FL
Tallahassee has always had a close relationship with the rolling hills, live oaks and springs of the Big Bend. Whether you've driven the moss-draped canopy roads that lead out of town, taken a boat tour at Wakulla Springs, one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world, or hiked the pine flatwoods of the Apalachicola National Forest, the largest national forest in Florida, 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.
Tallahassee 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 Tallahassee residents.
