"Composting “is a fabulous option,” University of Tennessee environmental microbiologist Jennifer DeBruyn, who did not participate in the research, tells Science News. The approach has long been used to process animal carcasses, she notes. “The idea of applying it to humans, to me, as an ecologist and someone who has worked in composting, it just makes perfect sense, honestly.”
Yeah, wonder how many ex-boyfriends of hers that have gone missing...  It Takes Less Than 30 Days to Compost a Human Body "Recompose’s recipe includes woodchips, alfalfa, and straw grass. A body is placed in a closed vessel with these materials and rotated slowly to encourage microbial breakdown of the tissues. In a month’s time, the composted material—a couple cubic yards of bone-riddled soil that meets EPA safety standards—is made available to relatives, who can spread it in their garden or use it to plant a tree." Some science articles by women give me the creeps. Just sayin "Lynne Carpenter-Boggs, a soil scientist at Washington State University in Pullman who led the small trial of six volunteers, found that the bodies got warm during the composting process—stabilizing at around 55 °C (131 °F) for some time. “We are certain that there has been a destruction of the vast majority of [disease-causing organisms] and pharmaceuticals because of the high temperatures that we reached,” she tells the BBC." So how much did volunteers for this study get paid? "DeBruyn adds to Science News that the heat generated during composting also helps destroy pathogens. Prions, however, are not killed by heat, Carpenter-Boggs adds, meaning that composting “wouldn’t be allowed for people who have diagnosed Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,” she tells Science News... Washington’s new law to add compositing as an acceptable means of human remains disposal goes into effect in May. Recompose plans to open for business soon. Colorado is currently considering legislation to legalize human composting, according to the BBC." One step closer to |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hungry pigs will do it faster. Fact: You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute

So, the tradition of Catholic Churches for hundreds of years in Italy actually worked.
Burry in “hallowed ground”. Since the ground was used for composting humans, year after year - it had a very high bacterial count, plus being dug up repeatedly it probably had good aeration. Then let the body sit till the plot was needed again. Dig it up, sort out the bones, plant new corpse. Bones were then moved to catacombs. —- Personally I liked the method used in Fargo - but that little tidbit of the movie was based on a true story and they caught the wood chipper operator. |

If they are going to pass a law legalizing this, there needs to be a provision in it that requires home sellers to disclose that they used human remains to fertilize their backyard tree.

I worked in the dead stock business for 7 years. A feedlot could take an animal that died, cut it open, put it inside a wind row of manure and let it sit.
30 days later a 300 pound animal would be reduced to large bones and teeth. |

Wrap the body in chicken wire with a couple cinderblocks and chuck it into the freshwater river of your choice. Catfish will eat the flesh and silt and sediment will cover up the bones in about a month.
