That sounds dope tbh
Is Soylent Green another Option?
There’s actually human composting now, too! (I’m a mortician)
Can you go into details?
Washington Colorado, California, Oregon and Vermont currently allow human composting, but the idea is spreading. Cremation, embalming, burials at a cemetery, even green burials are awful for the environment. They all require either chemicals, the use of gas, or the use of heavy machinery; sometimes all of them. The aforementioned states made it in such a way that you’re giving back to the environment and it’s a fuck ton cheaper. (Still need a Funeral home involved for transportation, biohazard protection, permits, government docs, etc. So it’s not free, but much more affordable)
Is human composting a mainstream option now, or only offered at select mortuaries?
It’s allowed in Colorado, Vermont, Oregon, Washington, and California, so definitely becoming more widespread. I’m not sure if you need a specific mortuary, but the one I worked in Colorado (before the law passed) would work with all sorts of programs; Science Care (body donation), organ donation programs, the companies that turned your cremated remains into diamonds/glass art/coral reefs, the ones that shot cremated remains into space or had it mixed with fireworks or tattoo ink. There are a LOT of options for you postmortem 😅
Only certain states, right?
I catch ask a mortician on YouTube every once in a while. She’s a big advocate of the composting and the water cremation.
Yup! Human composting is only legal in Vermont, California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado right now.
That channel gets enough wrong that I can’t support it. The biggest thing wrong that I’ve heard a million times is that you don’t have to be embalmed. If there is going to be a viewing, more than 48 hours after death, even just with next of kin; there, legally, has to be embalming to stop the biohazard risk in most states. If you want a direct burial or cremation, you don’t need to be embalmed; but if the public will be around the deceased, embalming is almost always required. Even in those that aren’t mandatory after 48 hours, there’s a massive liability waiver because of how dangerous it is, and you won’t be able to touch them without gloves.
Bummer that she gets things wrong like that. I mostly just watch her tell historical stories. She can spin a mighty entertaining yarn.
Oh definitely. I created a show after I had to stop mortuary work (genetic disability) because it’s fascinating. I even ran the Wayne State University Funeral History Museum for 3 years.
Fargo Style
I can picture the minced meat being fed to pigs
You mean the Fargo Chips™? 😁
I’m game, sign me up. I don’t want to join any zombie hordes again

Think about it, we put our dead in the sun to dry and after they become dead jearky we chop them in small pieces and recicle as bricks! We can build thousands of houses! And we can even use the cemetery grounds, since there will be no more burials! Win x Win x Win!
You can live with your loved ones for ever; End the cemetery space problems; End Homelessness; Save the planet!
Fourth option
Nice that there’s a separate bin for organic
This way you fertilize the land more quickly.
Not me, direct the output right onto the BBQ.
Dinner and a show you know how to entertain
We’ve had a doozy of a day officer.
The Fargo Option
“It is our most modestly-priced disposal method.”
That would be so metal. I now know how I would want to go out.
I’m ordering one for my funeral so I can rain down on the guests
I guess it’s at least more environmentally friendly
Death by Volvo sounds good to me
Definitely wanna look both ways before crossing when this beast is on the road or no one will see you again
Naturally…
Damn now that’s hardcore lmao
