Human Composting


I mean, that is almost the same as getting buried, right?

I really do not care about the environment so even signing up is more effort than I would bother with

I like how this comes around every few months on the OT.

I’m damn sure not having my family spend over $20,000 on a dang funeral.

I’m being cremated.

Being out in a coffin is a huge waste of money

I always thought the casket inside a vault was a horrible way to be buried. It takes forever for "you" to rejoin the cycle of life.

Wasn't this the whole premise of the last season of 6ft Under?

This seems like a probable end for me, whether I plan it or not.

In theory, and on a long enough timescale, sure. But in practice? It's not like anyone is turning cemeteries into farmland anytime soon.

Or you can volunteer to help out law enforcement and forensics right here in little ole Texas. They've been doing it for a while.

The FARF is a 26-acre outdoor human decomposition research laboratory at Texas State's Freeman Ranch.

Jack and Ozzy Osbourne went there with their travel show. This is how forensics can tell how long a person has been deceased when they find their body outdoors.

The Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (FARF) serves as a resource for forensic anthropology students, researchers, as well as state and national law enforcement agencies.

quote:

The Texas State facility is spatially the largest facility of its kind in the world. The FARF is used by the forensic science community to gain knowledge about human decomposition and developing methods for determining the post mortem interval or time since death. The FARF is also used to train forensic anthropology students, law enforcement, and medicolegal personnel in methods for searching and recovering human remains in a medicolegal context.
