Recompose

The Disposition Authorization is a legal form that details what you want to happen to your body when you die. This document also allows you to designate a backup option should your first choice not be available at the time of your death, as well as your wishes for your soil.

The Disposition Authorization is a legal document. We suggest reading through the form, then taking your time to think about questions like what you wish to happen to your soil and which people in your life should receive some. You may want to discuss your options with a trusted friend or family member, and the people who would receive your soil. You can read more about your options for your soil and how to make that decision here. You can also change your mind at any time prior to your death by filling out a new Disposition Authorization form.
