What if, after our last breath, we were turned into fertile soil?

In Europe, committed citizens are advocating for humusation (the composting of human remains) to be studied, validated and legalized. In the United States, this alternative to cremation and burial is already practiced in two states.

It's a culturally revolutionary idea, even though it's based on aerobic decomposition, perfected by nature over millions of years. Slowly, a movement that was still little-known and controversial got under way.

Its pioneers are breaking taboos, awakening ecological awareness, shaking up the funeral world, offering us another vision of death, one that regenerates life, paving the way for the creation of new rites.
