Recompose: Alternative Body Disposition

Most modern burial practices have significant ecological footprints.

Recompose is developing a process that gently converts human remains into soil, so that we can nourish new life after we die. Their goal is to offer recompositon as an alternative choice to cremation and conventional burial. 

The Palliative Care Institute, Fairhaven College and the Sustainable Action Fund have invited Recompose CEO Katrina Spade to explain how their modular system uses nature's principles to return us to the earth, sequestering carbon and improving soil health.

They have calculated carbon savings over a metric ton per person. Recomposition allows us to give back to the earth that supports us all our lives.

Come join us for an informative and provocative conversation.

Open to the community.
