Instead of settling for being interred in a box or becoming charred dust in the wind, Washingtonians can now opt to be "terramated." That is, they can pack their corpses into sci-fi-like vessels filled to the brim with organic materials, and through a sped-up decomposition process become a truckload of fresh, tillable compost.
I think this is a bad idea. What sorts of diseases might this transfer? It's not like it's much dirt this would produce anyway.

There is no law that i'm aware of anywhere that requires you to bury in a coffin or cremate someone. You can do whatever you what with the dead body. Nobody knows this and goes through the bullshit and shell out thousands for something that takes a shovel
