New York Becomes 6th State to Allow Burial Composting

Congratulations to the state of New York for becoming the 6th state to allow burial composting! Composting is an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to honor the dead, and it's great to see that New York is leading the way in this area. Burial composting is a natural process that creates a rich, nutrient-rich soil from a deceased person's remains, and it's a great way to help reduce the amount of waste created by the burial process. We should all be mindful of the impact our actions have on the environment, and this is a creative way to do that.

For those who have made climate change issues a priority in life, burial composting can also create an opportunity to leave a unique physical reminder of your priorities. The soil created in the process can be used to nurture a special garden or tree. This can allow your loved ones to continue to interact with the passed individual’s legacy in a really special way.

If you'd like to learn more about this or other out-of-the-box burial/memorial options that can be included in your estate planning documents, make an appointment to speak with me today. Helping families to create a lasting legacy that matches their values in life is my passion.
