The whole thing takes about six weeks... Then everything is packaged and shipped to the family as soil...

[PJMedia.com] Well, I suppose it's one way to boost employment numbers. If you live in New York, and you have that one family member who just refuses to get a job and leeches off friends and relatives, don't worry: Semi-gainful employment could be in their future when the time finally comes for them to shuffle off this mortal coil.

Over the weekend, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed NY A00382. In a nutshell, so to speak, the bill adds "natural organic reduction" to cremation and burial as a way to dispose of human remains. How does it work? You'll be sorry you asked, but since you did...

Just the News looked into it, sparing the rest of us the trouble. According to a Seattle funeral home called "Recompose," (yes, that's the name), the body is placed in a (reusable) stainless container. Alfalfa, straw, and woodchips are added and then, nature takes its course. The whole thing takes about six weeks, give or take, and any leftover teeth or bones are ground up. Then everything is packaged and shipped to the family as soil. Once the awkward moment of signing for the, uh, delivery is over, you can take comfort in knowing that human composting is a more eco-friendly internment option than burial or cremation. Which is why it has already been embraced by California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. Of course, it has.
