Starting in 2027, a different burial method will be available for Californians after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that allows human composting.

AB 351, introduced by Assemblymember Cristina Garcia , allows for the method in which human remains naturally decompose over a 30-to-45-day period and are turned into a soil.
