@LauraEilers Рік тому
To be a little fair, composting, even regular back yard composting of kitchen scraps, isn't as "natural" as you think as far as how decomposition works. It's a technology. Actually our modern understanding of it is about the same age as chemical fertilizer. People have always tossed organic stuff on the ground to improve soil nutrition without really knowing why. But the idea that you can do a good mix of organics and control the air and moisture to speed it all up and control the decomposition process isn't strictly "natural." Natural burial is legal all over, but I do think this is better in many cases, and I'm excited for all the new legislation that's coming up.

After the funeral, my friends mum called the crematorium to complain they had played a hymn they didn't want. The crematorium responded, "you think that's bad?

That would be my ideal way to go. Now that I've thought more about it, if my grandpa had died at a time where this would've been possible I would have made a garden with his compost and planted nothing but his favourite flowers in it. He was a very passionate gardener and would probably have loved the idea of this kind of burial.

One main thing that terrifies me is the thought of dying and death. I dont like the idea of getting sent to a morgue and be embalmed with a lethal chemical. The thought of being possibly still alive when declared dared when I'm still alive. This is the way of composting gives me comfort. I actually have wanted to be planted with a beautiful Japanese cherry blossom tree with a plague on a gorgeous headstone with my picture and the person that i was in life bringing joy to others and always helped others. To helping nature recycle me in such a dignied and most richest manner versus being placed in a coffin taking up space and it would take years for me to be in decomposition or become mummfied. The terror of being stuck in a coffee 6 feet under is so inhumane and would prefer to be returned to earth in the most natural way and continue to grow with my favorite tree and we become one with nature forever. Imagine with a beautiful flower garden and a pretty pond of water with goldfish, swans and ducks swimming along with each other with benches so comfortable to relax in a beautiful sunrise or sunset and little quaint tables to place snacks and drinks and a foot rest to rest on. A nice playground for children to play and just remember me on those beautiful picturesque days with me. Remember me always for who i was that lived a good humble life caring for others. Remember me.❤😮

I used to be terrified of cremation, and burial. I didn't want to be put in the ground with the worms, but I was also terrified of the idea of being cremated because what if I was still alive. Which I know is silly, there no way that would happen but it still scared me. After learning about ancient cultures and thier funeral rights, I've become much more comfortable with the idea of cremation because there's a spiritual aspect to it. Of course I still don't really want to be cremated in a crematorium, id rather have an open air pyre cremation, but unfortunately its not legal in my country. This human composting and remembrance garden concept is definitely an excellent alternative though, and if I cant have my open air cremation I'd love to have a natural burial in a beautiful garden.

Where do you think the matter of that body in a casket is going to be in 500 million years or more? We tend to think of things on a pathetically short human timescale.

I'm a Catholic, and I LOVE this idea, (it makes me mad that some of us are so uptight about the wrong things) My cousin loved nature, and would have probably been a full blown hippy type given different chances in life, and I can't help thinking this, especially something like the river rewilding project, would have been perfect for him than being stuck in a box. This video has explained it better than anything I've read, you even answered my worry about what happened to the bones, which I couldn't find anywhere. Though I'd feel happier if you could collect them already bagged up (oof, that sounded horrible 😳), and I just don't think I could plant anything edible in people compost. The first I heard about it was when my father heard about it being legalised (somewhere, I know I could google it) recently, and mum asked me to look it up because she thought he'd imagined it 😆 While initially freaked out by the thought of it (I imagined people being treated disrespectfully, being flung on something like a communal compost heap, or the places forensics study decomp rates) I had to read up about it, and thought it was lovely!

Money, morality, and traditon, those are the roots. As a student in the industry, that is the answer to this particular question. - The politicians often set in their ways fear that these new methods may scare people from the methods that net the government an income. Plus they like to be in control too so there is that. - The funeral homes see these startups as competition, and being the funeral industry has an almost exclusive control over what happens when you die, there is a bit of sway that the role carries. - The public sees this as different, a break from tradition and what they were brought up to see as moral and ethical. "Farmers compost dead livestock, what now are we just cows?" (not saying that's the exact argument but you get the gist). This means their less inclined to look at these options unless someone they know has undergone these processes. - The public also may have an underlying fear as to what could be transferred into the soil, fearing public safety and such. - Having these facilities in a community may ruing the value of property thus it may not be favorable to municipalities and developers. Ther is a whole load more that can factor in, this is a very short sentence of what is arguably a novel the size of J.R.R Tolken's "Silmarillion".

My body stops working, my brain stops working, the electricity that was me stops existing. Hopefully my soul moves on. I get that. But here's the thing. There's this odd sort of comfort knowing that I'm not being forced into a postion, ever. I'm being given a nice, soft, air filled space that isn't holdming me in place at all. If my body can get up, it's free to do that. If not, then I decompose under lack of my own power. This is what I NEED done with my body. Thank you so much for letting me know it's even a thing.

I wouldn't call it sped up or lengthened... it happens at the rate nature intended. While they provide the ideal conditions for complete composting, and help break down any leftover bone bits, the organic process natural. The problem is that most current burial processes add embalming chemicals, then place the body inside a coffin, which is sealed inside a concrete vault. The process blocks nature from being able to break down the body until something happens to destroy the vault. It's sad to think of all those bodies locked away from becoming part of nature again.

I would like to be composted also! Never forget there’s something greater than all of us, stay blessed!

I've NEVER understood how folks see filling a deceased body with chemicals, placing it in a steel box and then into a concrete box (as is often required) as NATURAL?? When I learned that soil transitioning was legal in WA and that there are at least 3 companies here that provide that service, I was overjoyed! The thought of returning myself, naturally, to the earth and having trees planted in my soil is so very comforting. I really can't imagine that this won't become the default at some point. Where are we going to BURY 8 billion people? Hello. Thanks, Cailtin for another great video!

Yes thats true but any cemetery after a time reuses graves and personally I dont see it as a cemetery vs nature argument. Its more Walmart vs cemetery situation. Walmart and other development isn't real keen on redevelopment if virgin land is available. You cant stop landowners from selling land. What you can do is put your corpse there for a while. That doesn't solve the problem permanently but it does set aside land for park space instead of parking spaces.
