Dusty Deevers, a public figure active on social media, recently posted a series of statements addressing the legalization of human composting and its implications from his perspective.
On May 6, 2026, Deevers commented on legislative developments regarding human composting: “Today, the Senate voted to legalize human composting. This bill, which has already been passed in numerous far-left states, treats the human body as mere material to be utilized and repurposed, rather than something uniquely created in the image of God. Western civilization is”. The statement was made following a Senate vote that aligns with trends in other states where similar legislation has been enacted.
Addressing theological concerns about body disposition after death on May 6, 2026, Deevers wrote: “Let me address the common objection: “But, ‘ashes to ashes, dust to dust,’ the body is going to dirt anyway, it doesn’t matter how it gets there, whether cremation or composting.” This is a category error. Genesis 3:19 tells us what happens to the body after death, it breaks”.
The day prior, on May 5, 2026, Deevers shared a brief message expressing satisfaction about an unspecified event: “It was my joy!”.
Human composting legislation has gained traction in several U.S. states over recent years. The process involves converting human remains into soil through natural decomposition methods. Supporters argue this approach provides an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial and cremation practices. Opponents often cite religious or ethical concerns about the treatment of human bodies after death.
