Human Composting in Nevada
Human composting is an environmentally-friendly funeral option that is available in a growing number of states in the US.
Nevada residents interested in human composting can find everything they need to know about the process on this page.
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.
