1. It is impossible to consider what constitutes a good death while so many are forced to endure the constant reality of bad, violent deaths, and exist in a perpetual state of fear and mourning.

Illinois friends: take a moment today to support the bill legalizing human composting. There’s an organized letter-writing campaign urging people to oppose the bill, led by the Catholic Church. Regardless of personal beliefs, laws should reflect everyone’s values

Over the next few weeks, a hearing for Illinois Bill HB5425, an act to legalize natural organic reduction (aka human composting), will be heard in the Senate. This is a critical moment for the future of the bill and we really need your help!

Hot take: the most eco-friendly thing you'll ever do is die well. We've been saying it for years. Our Earth Day Sale is almost over. Retro vibes, green deathcare values, & yes, we did put a recycling symbol on something death related & we stand by it …order-of-the-good-death.myshopify.com

14 states have legalized NOR aka human composting, as more people are reimagining their funeral as a gift to the earth: becoming wildflower meadows, oak trees, and restored land. Help us bring NOR to your state. Join The Order's grassroots efforts: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

• Green Burial returns the body directly to the soil using biodegradable materials. • Human Composting gently transforms the body into soil. • Aquamation, a green alternative to cremation, uses water and alkali instead of flame to return the body to its basic elements.

Every year on #EarthDay we talk about sustainable living. But what about sustainable dying? Modern deathcare can carry a surprising environmental footprint. These practices became the norm during an era when environmental impact wasn’t always part of the conversation.

For #EarthDay we’ve been thinking about music that holds space for decay & renewal, grief & transformation. What are some songs that can help us envision our bodies not as something separate from nature, but as something that will one day rejoin it?

In 1970, people took to the streets to say "we should probably stop destroying the earth." In 2026, we're saying "great idea, have you considered becoming part of it?" Wear the merch. Plan the burial. Save the planet, eventually. Shop our Earth Day Sale …order-of-the-good-death.myshopify.com
