How human composting works in Nevada

This nature-driven process, also known as soil transformation, terramation, or natural organic reduction, gently transforms a body into enriched soil over 45 days. Inside a proprietary vessel, we use a blend of organic materials and controlled airflow to facilitate a transition that is both restorative and low-impact.‍

‍

Families in Nevada can choose how much soil they’d like returned - to scatter or plant - and the remainder is sent to conservation sites. The process returns nutrients to the natural world and helps protect the planet for future generations.

‍

‍Since the state legalized it in 2023, it has provided a significant way for families to honor their eco-conscious values. Nevadans can now choose this meaningful alternative to burial or cremation, ensuring their final footprint is one that supports the earth.

Supporting land conservation

Each Nevada soil transformation creates about a cubic yard of mineral-dense soil that can support restoration work. After families keep what they want, the remaining soil can be donated to projects dedicated to environmental protection.

For Nevadans drawn to the Great Basin skies, the shores of Lake Tahoe, or rugged trails of the Spring Mountains, choosing human composting offers a selfless way to help preserve Mother Nature’s beauty.

Serving each Nevada family like our own

With Earth's 2,000+ five-star reviews, people in Nevada are finding comfort in our environmentally conscious end-of-life alternative.

In thinking about what I want for my body after I die, I didn’t want it to be a chemicalized waste of space in an overpriced piece of real estate with a view. The idea of being turned into compost for my loved ones to grow something from my remains was a beautiful idea. Earth made enrolling in a prepayment plan very easy. They answered all of my questions and sent plenty of information to share with my loved ones.

I highly recommend them for your green burial alternative to traditional burial practices.
