Families can choose to keep the resulting soil as a memento or use it to plant a memorial tree or garden, creating a lasting tribute to the person who has passed. Despite its benefits, recomposition is not yet widely available as a funeral option. Currently, the process is only legal in a few states in the United States, including Washington and Colorado. However, as awareness of the environmental impact of traditional burial and cremation grows, it is likely that more people will turn to recomposition as a more sustainable and meaningful way to say goodbye to their loved ones.
