Your words help surround each child with dignity, love, and remembrance. 🌱🤍

PSA 📢
Green Burial ≠ Indoor Human Composting
⠀
It’s easy to confuse them, especially when slick marketing blurs the line, but let’s be clear: these practices are fundamentally different. Let me help!

Green burial (also called natural burial) is the traditional, eco‑friendly way of laying someone to rest:

No embalming chemicals.

No metal caskets or concrete vaults.

The body returns naturally to the soil in a biodegradable shroud or container in the ground.

In contrast, human composting (technically natural organic reduction, or NOR) is an industrialized, accelerated process:

The body is placed in a closed vessel INDOORS with organic materials like wood chips and alfalfa

Oxygen, moisture, and microbial activity are controlled to speed decomposition, producing usable mulch in about 30 days.

Some companies use terms like “green,” “natural,” or “compost” to describe these services in ways that make them seem interchangeable, often more about marketing than transparency. This greenwashing, intentional or not, can mislead families into thinking they’re choosing the same thing.

** What you can do:**
Try searching online for “green burial” in your area. If the first results lean are from a composting company, those are the listings and businesses you’ll want to approach with caution, IMO.

Despite what they tell you, green burial is not the same as human composting.

Both might aim to reduce harm to the earth. But one is grounded, rooted in natural soil decomposition; the other is technological, accelerated, and contained.

Educating yourself (and others) helps counteract misleading narratives, and fosters genuine, transparent choices in end-of-life care.

Throw back- One of the funeral homes I used to work at had this old classic hearse. It was nice to look at but a pain to drive 😅⚰️

Every time I wear this exact outfit, I think of a family I served about three years ago.

A man called the funeral home asking if we could do a church and burial service within a week. His mom had a pre-need elsewhere, but they had a 3-week wait. We had availability on our calendar, so I said yes and got to work.

From the moment he walked in, something felt off. He was frantic, pushy, and I felt uncomfortable being alone with him. Still, I moved forward with the arrangements.

During the meeting, he stared at my chest and commented that I was “very pretty to be a funeral director.”

When it came time to pay, his card declined. Not unusual—but he insisted I stay while he called the bank on speaker. “I’m good for the money,” he said. “I’m very rich.”

Once the payment cleared, I left the room. Later, I watched the security footage—you can literally see me backing away from him every time he stepped closer.

The day before the service, a family friend came in five minutes before closing, demanding to see the body. The person hadn’t been embalmed and they were still in the cooler to be casketed the next morning. We didn’t have the staff to meet that request, and she left angry.

Not long after, he called my supervisor and said I was “unprofessional,” “inappropriate,” and “dressed like a ho**er” during our arrangement meeting. He demanded a refund and that I not attend the service.

I truly believe that was his goal from the beginning: to create an issue to avoid paying.

This outfit is not inappropriate. It’s not unprofessional. It does not make me look like a ho**er but I still think of his words even all these years later.

It’s just unfortunate that as women, your appearance can be used against you—no matter how qualified, kind, or capable you are.
