A modern, eco-friendly alternative for Utah families

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

‍

Utah families choose how much soil they’d like returned — to scatter or plant — and the remainder is sent to regional conservation sites where it’s used for land restoration projects, such as reforestation and growing trees.

‍

Human composting is for nature lovers, conservationists, and for those of us who want to protect the planet for future generations. Whether you need our soil transformation services now, or you’re planning for the future, Earth works with Utah families through our partner funeral home and our facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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.
