How human composting works in The Villages, FL
The Villages has always had a close relationship with the lakes, oaks and trails of Central Florida. Whether you've biked the 46-mile Withlacoochee State Trail, the longest paved rail-trail in Florida, seen the giant live oak at Lake Griffin State Park, or ventured north into the springs and scrub of the Ocala National Forest, 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.
Families in The Villages 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 residents of The Villages.
