How long does human composting take?
The human composting process takes between six and ten weeks. Each body spends thirty days in a Recompose vessel, then the soil is transferred to a bin to cure and dry for an additional two to six weeks. We test the soil to ensure it is ready to be returned. Our staff will communicate timing throughout the process. Learn more about how our human composting process works.
