Sounds crazy right, except, that is what people did for literally ever until someone found a way to make lots of money off people dying.

I understand that just planting a body in your backyard is both illegal and unsanitary and can spread disease. BUT...

Compositing results in perfectly safe residue and has a far lower carbon footprint than either burial or cremation. Give it a read, I like it.

now you can compost human bodies too
This really isn’t a new idea, there have been areas for human decomposition for years. The only thing they can’t keep out are the bugs and the critters but hey, they have to eat too.
