Is human composting the next frontier in death care?
Description
April 15, 2023
There is a poetic, even romantic thought about what happens to us when we die. The cycle of life - returning to the earth - is something many of us think about. But, in reality, the way we say goodbye to our loved ones, with embalming, and either cremation or burial - are not good for the environment or sustainable. For The New Reality, Sophie Lui reports on an innovation could change that: human composting.
