Human composting is applicable regardless of where we live on this planet. It’s actually the most practiced way of disposing of animals that have deceased. After all, every other species simply rolls over and returns to the Earth so to speak. So why are we humans any different. Only because culture deems to take another approach.

The Aussie approach has started and we support it. Here’s the story of what a Canberra resident is doing to kick start the process and get some action on the ground.

This is the story of Tui Davidson as reported in Region News …

Burial and cremation are the tried and tested options for sending off your loved ones when they throw off this mortal coil.

But Canberra woman Tui Davidson is advocating for another, cheaper, more “sustainable” option to be made available to local families – one she expects is not far away.

It’s composting, also known as “terramation”. Yep, the breaking down of the human body by the same means as your kitchen waste, and within as little as 60 days.

“No one in Australia is doing it yet, but it is done overseas,” she says.

Several US states allow it, as does Sweden, and the UK Government is currently “welcoming” proposals to regulate new end-of-life methods that include it.

The more Tui Davidson investigated terramation, the more she “loved it”.

“It harnesses the body’s natural energy. It’s very good environmentally, and it’s just the most natural process there is. Nobody wants to think about the way your body breaks down after you die, or the fiery cremation, but if you had to think about it, I think this is definitely the best way to go.”
