Washington may become first state to legalize human composting. Washington legislature is on the verge of legalizing human composting as a means of final disposition. From the Daily News story - In the process — also called “recomposition,” — bodies are placed in a vessel which speeds up decomposition and turned into a soil which can be returned to families. The family could then use the soil that was once their loved one in which to plant a tree or to use as dirt in a flower pot, whatever.
Washington will also permit our remains to be liquified. The proposed Washington bill would also allow alkaline hydrolysis — where bodies are dissolved in water and potassium hydroxide in a pressurized chamber until only bone and a sterilized liquid remains… If passed, the bill would make Washington the 17th state to allow alkaline hydrolysis. Liquid human remains are not flushed down toilets exactly, but they are poured into sewers.
