How human composting works in Tucson, AZ
Tucson has always had a profound connection to the Sonoran Desert that surrounds it. Whether you've hiked the 170-plus miles of trails through Saguaro National Park's two districts among forests of saguaros rising 45 feet into the desert sky, explored the canyons and riparian habitat of Sabino Canyon at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains, or walked the trails of Catalina State Park through 5,500 acres of foothills where herons and hummingbirds gather along seasonal streams, 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.
Tucson 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 Tucson residents.
