- Earth Funeral seeks to legalize human composting in North Carolina
Earth Funeral, a company offering human composting, is seeking to legalize the process in North Carolina, proposing a $10 million facility in Charlotte. The service, which transforms remains into soil using organic materials, costs $6,500 and is currently available in other states, but requires state legislation to operate in North Carolina. Supporters highlight environmental benefits, while opponents raise ethical concerns.
