Currently, funeral services include cremation and burial. Under House Bill 3660, which was pushed forward by state Rep. Eddy Dempsey, "natural organic reduction" would be added to that list.
"Natural organic reduction" is defined as the contained accelerated reduction and conversion of human remains to soil in a licensed crematory using heat, water, and organic material.
"This bill is about giving Oklahoma families the freedom to make their own choices about how to bury their loved ones, and making sure that when they do, it’s done the right way," Dempsey said in a news release.
