How It Works
Placement:
The body is placed in a vessel with organic materials like wood chips, alfalfa, and straw.
Decomposition:
Microbes naturally present on the body and in the organic matter break down the remains.
Aeration and Monitoring:
The process requires air circulation and temperature monitoring to ensure optimal conditions for decomposition.
Conversion to Soil:
After approximately 30 to 60 days, the body is transformed into a cubic yard of soil.
Family Involvement:
Families can participate by placing items in the vessel with their loved one and can receive the resulting soil for gardening or other uses.
