Currently, human composting is not yet legal in Ontario, but the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act provides mechanisms for considering alternative disposition methods. We're working to advance legislation similar to what's been passed in Washington, Colorado, Oregon, and Vermont.
The human composting process typically takes about 30 days in controlled conditions with optimal temperature (55-65°C), moisture, and pH levels. The result is nutrient-rich soil suitable for memorial plantings.
Human composting reduces carbon emissions by approximately 1.4 tons per person compared to cremation, requires no toxic chemicals or resource-intensive caskets, and produces beneficial soil amendment that supports ecosystem health.
You can support by contacting your provincial and municipal representatives, joining our advocacy efforts, volunteering for community education, or contributing to regulatory compliance research and facility development.
