The body of the tiny 78-year-old woman was brought to a hillside at Western
Carolina University still clad in a blue hospital gown. She was laid on a bed of
wood chips, and then more were heaped atop her. If all goes as hoped, the
body will turn into compost. It is a startling next step in the natural burial
movement. Armed with an environmental fellowship, Katrina Spade, 37,
Seattle resident with a degree in architecture, has proposed an al ternative, a
facility for human composting. The woman laid to rest in wood chips is a first
step in testing how it would work. “Composting makes people think of
banana peels and coffee grounds,“ Spade said. But “our bodies have
nutrients. What if we could grow new life after we've died?“ Scientists agree
that human beings can be composted. Already countless farms across the
country compost the bodies of dead livestock. “I'm absolutely sure that it can
work,“ said Lynne Carpenter-Boggs, a soil scientist at Washington State
University who is on the advisory board of the Urban Death Project, a
nonprofit that Spade founded.

The process is surprisingly simple: Place nitrogen-rich material,
like dead animals, inside a mound of carbon-rich material, like
wood chips and sawdust, adding moisture or extra nitrogen and
making other adjustments as needed. Microbial activity will start
the pile cooking. Bacteria release enzymes that break down
tissue into component parts like amino acids, and eventually ,
the nitrogen-rich molecules bind with the carbon-rich ones,
creating a soil-like substance. Temperatures reach around 140
degrees, often higher, and the heat kills common pathogens.
Done correctly, there should be no smell. Bones also compost,
though they take longer than tissue.
Spade has designed a building for human composting that aims
to marry the efficiency of this biological process with the ritual
and symbolism that mourners crave. Each Urban Death facility
would be centered around a three-storey vault that she calls
“the core“.Loved ones would carry their deceased, wrapped in a
shroud, up a circular ramp to the top.

There, during a “laying in“ ceremony , mourners would place the
body inside the core, which could hold perhaps 30 corpses at a
time. Over the next several weeks, each body would move down
the core until the first stage of composting was complete.
In a second stage, material would be screened, along with any
remaining bones, and the compost would be cured. Spade
estimates that each body , combined with the necessary materials
such as wood chips and sawdust, would yield enough compost to
fill a cube three feet by three feet.
Weeks or months later, survivors could collect some of the
compost to use as they saw fit, perhaps in their garden or to plant
a tree. Spade foresees the rest going to nearby parks or
conservation lands. Each human composting would cost about
$2,500, a fraction of the price of conventional burial, Spade
estimates. She hopes to build the first facility in Seattle, then to
develop a template that other communities can use for locally
designed facilities.

First, though, she and her supporters will have to navigate an array of
obstacles. Many Americans find the idea of composting human bodies
repulsive. Then there are legal barriers. State laws vary: In the last few
years, several have legalized water cremation. But in many other states,
bodies must be buried, entombed, cremated or donated to science.
Questions remain about how human compost should be used. Certain
pathogens can survive composting, and livestock that have died from
diseases are banned from composting.
