Colorado Becomes The Second State To Allow For Human Composting

According to 9 News:

Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colorado) signed a bill into law Monday that makes the Centennial State the second in the country to allow for human composting, which essentially allows people to be made into soil when they die.
Human composting is already legal in Washington. New York and Oregon are considering similar bills.
It works by placing a body in a container with organic material so it will break down naturally. House Bill 21-006 prohibits the soil of multiple people to be combined without their permission, for the soil to be used to grow food for human consumption or for it to be sold.
Though Polis has signed the bill into law, it will take time for Colorado funeral homes to make the service available. Karen van Vuuren, managing partner of the Natural Funeral in Lafayette, said she looks forward to this new option for Coloradans.
