New York becomes 6th US state to green light human composting law

‘Human bodies are not household waste,’ opposer says

New York has become the sixth state in the United States to legalize natural organic reduction, popularly known as human composting, as a method of burial.

Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the legislation on Saturday. Washington was the first state to legalize human composting in 2019, followed by Colorado and Oregon in 2021 and Vermont and California in 2022.

“I am committed to having my body composted and my family knows that,” Howard Fischer, a 63-year-old investor living north of New York City, told The Associated Press. “Whatever my family chooses to do with the compost after it’s done is up to them.”

The alternative, green method of burial aligns with Fischer’s philosophical view on life: to live in an environmentally conscious way.

Guests sit in the gathering space looking at a shrouded mannequin in front of the threshold vessel at Recompose, a green funeral home specializing in human composting, also known as natural organic reduction, terramation, or recomposition at Recompose Seattle on October 06, 2022 in Seattle, Washington.

The process involves the body of the deceased being placed into a reusable vessel, along with plant material such as wood chips, alfalfa and straw. The organic mix creates the perfect habitat for naturally occurring microbes to do their work, quickly and efficiently breaking down the body in about a month’s time.

The end result is a cubic yard stack of nutrient-dense soil amendment, the equivalent of about 36 bags of soil, that can be used to plant trees or enrich conservation land, forests or gardens.

Human composting seems like a very bad idea. It seems that, at some point, we’d essentially eating each other and all the diseases we carry. Is it a genetic deformation that causes democrats to always have the very worst ideas?

Ironically you can pretty much do this (have a non preservative pine box type burial) on your own property in many places. I guess the progressive scum just want to get human derived material into living humans (used as soil amendment for agricultural purposes) “by any means necessary”...

Voluntary today. Mandatory tomorrow.

I'm assuming Hochul didn't volunteer to go first?

Do they have to sit there for a whole month?
