What is human composting?

Human composting is an environmentally-friendly alternative to cremation and traditional burial, which is also known as body composting, natural organic reduction or soil transformation. Over a 45-day process, a body is gently transformed into nutrient-rich soil.

Families choose how much soil they’d like returned - to scatter or plant - and the remainder is sent to local conservation sites where it’s used for land restoration projects, such as reforestation and growing trees. The process returns the nutrients in our bodies to the natural world, and helps protect the planet for future generations.

Is human composting legal in Georgia?

Human composting is not currently legal in Georgia.

The process has a significant number of supporters across the US. Human composting could be legalized in Georgia in the coming years, if current trends continue.

Currently, human composting is legal in California, Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Colorado and New York. Bills are progressing in a number of other states. For a full and up-to-date breakdown of the legal status in different states, check our legislation tracker.

How can I choose human composting as a Georgia resident?

Residents will need to wait until Georgia legalizes human composting to access services in state.

At Earth, we’re working hard to get human composting legalized across the US and to offer our services in Georgia. In the meantime, you can become an Earth Founding Member.

Becoming an Earth Founding Member allows you to choose our soil transformation process for yourself, receive $500 off an Earth Prepaid plan when we launch in Georgia post-legalization, and helps us to prioritize our expansion.

We appreciate your support as we bring natural organic reduction nationwide.
