At time of market creation, a law has passed the legislature, awaiting action from the governor to legalize human composting. View current status here.

Resolves YES if there is an active human composting operation in Delaware by the end of 2025.

Resolves NO if the governor takes no action, vetos, or if no businesses set up shop to accept and compost human remains by the end of 2025.

Legislation is also close to passage in Maryland.

According to NPR:

Seven states have legalized human composting: Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Vermont, and New York….

And it took California lawmakers three tries to pass a law to do the same, but it won't take effect until 2027.

• Update 2025-07-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has deleted a previous AI-generated summary and provided the following clarifications:

  • An operation does not necessarily need to be physically located within Delaware to count for a YES resolution.

  • Out-of-state companies that merely advertise in Delaware, without offering services specifically enabled by the new Delaware laws, will not be sufficient for a YES resolution.

  • The creator is inclined to resolve YES based on evidence of operations taking advantage of the Delaware-specific laws.
