Green burials? I've heard of several around the world, AFAIK without
the embalming and concrete vaults and decorator coffins, where the
land is managed as a nature preserve.
As for composting people specifically, several years ago I heard
someone from North Carolina on the radio talking about composting
people. I don't recall his name (or where he got his research
subjects).
