Human Composting?

In Australia, we currently have three legal options for what happens to our bodies after death: Burial, Cremation, Aquamation.

Human composting (also called natural organic reduction) is already legal in parts of the USA and gaining support worldwide. It may not be the right choice for everyone, but it offers an environmentally conscious, gentle return to the earth, and most importantly, it gives people choice.

Right now, human composting is not a legal option in NSW. That’s why a petition is before the NSW Legislative Assembly, calling for change.

If you believe in expanding end-of-life options, and are a resident of NSW please consider signing. Every signature helps.

The Parliament of New South Wales acknowledges and respects the traditional lands of all Aboriginal people, and pays respects to all Elders past and present. We acknowledge the Gadigal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Parliament of New South Wales stands.
