Human Composting

The Law Commission has recently recommended new rules be brought in to allow different funeral methods in England and Wales. They include Terramation also known as Human Composting, where a body is reduced to soil that can be used in a garden.
Some view it as being more ecological than burials which take up space and cremation which can release noxious fumes into the air. But others see it as not in being in accordance with their faith and beliefs.

Jonathan Thomas discusses the issues around human composting with guests:

Kristoffer Hughes, a druid from North Wales, who has gone on to launch Eterrna – which is campaigning to bring Human Composting to the UK.

Gwion Hallam from Twm Twm Films who are hoping to document the first Human Composting in Wales.
