KENT (UNITED STATES) – A woodpecker settled on a branch overhead as Cindy Armstrong stood near a grouping of trees, gazing at a patch of soil that contained bits of her son’s composted remains.
Armstrong is one of a growing number of Americans embracing environmentally low-impact burials for their loved ones.
Armstrong recalled that her son Andrew insisted on the so-called “terramation” process after the western state of Washington became the first in the United States to make the practice a legal alternative to cremation in 2019.
