Es una pregunta que todos tenemos que responder tarde o temprano: ¿Qué quieres que ocurra con tu cuerpo al morir? La directora funeraria Caitlin Doughty explora nuevas maneras de prepararnos para la mortalidad inevitable. En esta charla profunda, aprende más sobre ideas para entierros (como "recomposición" y "entierros de conservación") que devuelven nuestros cuerpos a la tierra de manera ecológica, humilde y autoconsciente.

Una forma de enterrar que nutre el planeta

Modern funeral practices isolate bodies from nature and rely on costly materials and toxic chemicals, creating an illusion of human exceptionalism. New alternatives like recomposition transform bodies into nourishing soil in weeks, while conservation burials protect natural land and restore habitats. In some traditions, bodies are exposed to animals or elements, embracing the cycle of decay. Shifting burial practices can reshape how society relates to mortality and the environment.
