Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

Sharing this Cleveland "Plain Dealer" article published on September 13, 2026 about legalizing Human Composting in Ohio

 Sharing the Cleveland Plain Dealer Story of September 13, 2026 - Front Page and Page 2: 
  "What if your remains could grow a tree instead of resting beneath a gravestone?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I feel this is the best in-depth story, that I have read thus far, that would help those who are seeking more information to answer questions that are top of mind about Human Composting.  It could answer all or most of their questions for themselves and/or loved ones for how to handle their remains after they are gone.  

There are a number of factors involved that can determine which path someone should choose.  Also relating to their family and sharing their reasons for making one choice over another.  

Human Composting is indeed a third choice after traditional burials and cremations.  It is more natural and more in tune with the environment.

  We'll see if it becomes legal in Ohio. So stay tuned for additional news about legally adopting this option in the Buckeye State.
