Summary Humusation is a very simple process allowing the gradual transformation of a deceased person's body into humus through the action of microorganisms present in the body. This new funeral practice, legal in the United States and Germany, is still in its infancy in Europe. While some people consider human composting horrendous, those who champion it see it as a safe, natural and environment-friendly return to the earth.
