New York passes law to turn bodies into compost after death

In the American state of New York, a law was passed to convert the body into natural fertilizer after people died.

According to a British media report, the governor of New York has approved a law to turn a person's body into natural compost after death.

According to the report, under this law, the last rites of the deceased can be done through composting instead of burial or cremation. 

During this process, the human body after death is kept in a container with special compounds for at least one month after which it turns into natural compost. 

After the process of turning the body into compost is completed, it is given to the relatives of the deceased who use the compost to grow plants, trees and vegetables.

It should be noted that the law to turn the body into compost after death has been approved and enforced in Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont and California.
