DESIGN FOR THE AFTERLIFE

Our Proposal

Our solution is to compost the body, producing an environmentally beneficial resource that can be returned to the family or donated to a reforestation effort. At the end of the on-site composting process, bones are not yet fully reduced. Specific bones, selected by the family of the deceased, can be recovered from the compost to be contained within our wall unit. The exterior face of this unit is inscribed to the specifications of the family of the deceased. These units are then assembled to become part of the landscape.
