Recently the Colorado-based holistic funeral home and cremation servicer, The Natural Funeral, laid to the rest the first ever composted human remains, per the state’s legalization of it last year.
In a process dubbed “natural reduction,” the deceased bodies are composted in an identical fashion as other organic materials. The body is placed within a wooden coffin with layers of alfalfa, straw, and wood chips to aid in the decomposition process, Seth Viddal of The Natural Funeral explained in a webinar.
We start with wood chips making the base. There’s a lot of proprietary microbial activity that’s taking place inside these chips… They’re inoculated with certain bacteria, with certain enzymes and certain fungi.
Viddal explained
Viddal originally hypothesized that this process would take roughly a year to complete, but is realizing it can probably be accomplished more or less in the span of three months.
The Colorado man whose body was composted was buried in September of last year on the Fall Equinox.
It’s a very special time. It’s a very special first-in-Colorado moment.
We’re not pouring toxic embalming fluids or anything that might be harmful to the earth. We’re really honoring the earth and saying thank you. Thank you, body. Thank you, Earth. Here’s some nourishment.
Ben Martin with The Natural Funeral told local media and attendees at the recent ceremony
Smithsonian Magazine writes, ‘After the composting is complete, about a cubic yard of soil remains, which is returned to the family or donated to farms. Colorado law prohibits using the soil to grow food for human consumption. It also prohibits selling the soil or co-mingling of remains without the deceased person’s consent, unless the soil is abandoned.’
At this recent ceremony, the attendees distributed the soil and mixed in grass and wildflower seeds.
Funeral services that offer this type of burial claim that this ‘natural reduction’ is more eco-friendly, as it does not emit as much carbon compared to the standard cremation process.
Cremation takes 30 gallons of fuel and pumps about 540 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere, so we’ve devised a system that runs about 90 per cent cleaner than that. We use a base of organics where the body is placed, and we simply close the lid. The heat keeps the microbial activity super active and at the end of a month, our body is pretty much transformed completely.
Micah Truman, CEO of Return Home, a green funeral home in Washington, tells Ben Anthony Horton of Euronews.
The cycle of life is truly going to continue as a result of what is happening today. More than anything, this proves that we can do this. That this can be very meaningful to families. That this can be a very sacred way to deal with a loved one following loss.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
Proverbs 30:14
Wait, what: it’s illegal to use this composted soil for farming in Colorado, and yet it can distrusted to farmers? Translation: farmers CAN grow with it, and the regulators will look the other way and call it ‘organic.’
The term ‘organic’ has become a loaded word with multiple definitions depending on who you ask, just as the word ‘regenerative’ can be a homonym depending on it’s application. And so, I would not be shocked in the slightest if it comes out down the line that this type of soil is being used to cultivate crops, or gets USDA Organic clearance – which the same governmental body currently prohibits the use of “bio-solids” or “bio-sludge,” which is the cute name for sewer and toilet waste, and cremated human remains that are legally dumped into the sewers in almost half of the United States. It’s a nice way of white-washing cannibalism.
[19] Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. [20] And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:Isaiah 9:19-20
I mention this report because I feel it to be quite significant, especially with a name like “natural reduction.” If you have been following The WinePress for a time, you know that I have warned the future of “meat” eating will not be totally consistent of plant-based slop: that is just child’s play and to slowly get the masses off of actual meats. The real push down the road will be to justify cannibalism. Mark my words, it’s coming, and it will be a ‘great’ way to “naturally reduce” the population while sequestering “carbon emissions.”

Moreover, right now the world is facing a fertilizer shortage, something I have talked about as well. Give it some time, per this Great Reset and “4th Industrial Revolution,” and people’s corpses will be used as fertilizer, providing loads of nitrates, ammonia, enzymes, carbon, electrolytes, amino acids, and so forth.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The really ironic part about this is that most states outlaw burying dead relatives on your own land, without the official permission of the state. So, they will harass a private land owner for burying a dead loved one, but it would be alright to “compost” a relative’s body and donate it to an “Organic farm”? Nuts!
Good point. Making up the rules as they go.
Hi Jacob just wondering if you got a chance to read my question?
‘Colorado high’ at its finest. What struck me was the blasphemous idolatry against Christ as God, Col 2:9, and his bride, the body of Christ, as opposed to the Harlot: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. This pagan pantheistic & panentheistic earth-mother body-merging thing. The Purpose Driven Rick Warren taught that old lie in his multiple perversion book as the at-one-ment perversion of atonement.

Surely they will tie their Marian garbage & idolatry, goddess worship to this, & perhaps some version of the Genesis 6 thing involving angels & women: ‘aliens’, ascended ones etc….and likely somehow as part of that false trinitarian perversion of the identity of God & the Godhead which they are so determined to maintain. I think of those winged women in Zechariah 5, their doves and misrepresentation of angels in ‘art’. And the as above, so below depiction in what amounts to nothing less that the old fertility religions, those interlocking triangles/pyramids merging. Masonry & the cults with their wicked double-entendre ‘G’. The mighty one, the consort. The Babylonian and Greek misinterpretations of God’s order that come through in Rome & Islam, Talmudic Jewry and all the classical witchcrafts & systems of occult sorcery. Claiming to elevate woman while actually degrading her, tempting & seducing, using, destroying. I struggle to put it into words, but the Bible speaks to it plainly.
–
And, it’s self-defeating, self-damning to receive those nontranscendent and impure, corrupted things in the place of Christ & becoming members of his body legitimately by the new birth by the will & power of God. Freely entering into the agreement, separated, sealed & waiting for the coming consummation & inheritance of the Son….unlike the counterfeit, the dying corrupt inheriting corruption.
–
What a picture of their corruption & vile fornicating ‘union’, their endless ‘cycle of life’ they so romanticize, but which is nothing but bondage to death & evil; involving karma, evil & death, destruction of personhood & the image of God, exchanging it for less than the value of a beast, becoming just a thing, just the bare elements of the physical body broken to indistinguishable bits. Or so they desire to think.
–
What lengths men go to in order to deny the truth & responsibility to God. How vile & disgusting. Yet, how ironic and hypocritical, & such a manifestation of just how just the literal consequential judgment coming truly is. More & more I just watch in terrible amazement while my gratitude to God for what he has done & provided in & of himself for us grows, along with my assurance of the absolute perfection & plain, literal truth of his word evidencing his character & holiness. The sureness of the promises not yet seen so evidenced.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” – 1 John 2:16, 17. Question: How long before they use human remains for making food? Ever heard of the movie “Soylent Green”? These people are discussing.

No, but I did have the comment settings to be too restrictive by mistake. Should be fine now.
