Bringing Human Composting to New York
Renewed Roots is on a mission to bring natural organic reduction as a sustainable death care option to New York.
Renewed Roots is a death care company dedicated to offering human composting (also known as natural organic reduction or terramation) in New York as a gentle, sustainable, and dignified alternative to traditional burial or cremation.
How it works
Your loved one is received by the facility and wrapped in an organic shroud
Then they will be placed in a vessel surrounded by organic matter such as alfalfa, wood chips, and hay
After about 8-12 weeks, your loved one will be transformed into nutrient rich soil
Family and friends then receive the soil and can use it for houseplants, gardens, or planting a tree—allowing your loved one to bring renewed life in death.
