    What Happens Next? Sustainable Pet Aftercare with Aquamation S2EP39
    2025/04/08
    Episode Summary: In this heartwarming and eye-opening episode of Thoughtful Planning, Honey and Santiago interview Lilia Fuller, founder of Eternal Waters Aquamation in Converse, Texas, to talk about a topic many of us avoid until it’s too late: what to do when our beloved pets pass away. Lilia walks us through aquamation, a gentle, eco-conscious alternative to cremation that’s changing the way families say goodbye to their pets. Whether you're currently navigating the loss of a pet or simply want to plan ahead with intention, this episode offers compassionate guidance, environmental insight, and practical next steps you might not have considered. Disclaimer: This episode is for educational purposes only. Please consult a local professional for specific guidance regarding aftercare and legal options in your state. Essential Question: What end-of-life options are available for our pets, and how can we make those choices more sustainable and thoughtful? Episode Highlights: What Is Aquamation? Lilia explains the gentle, water-based process of aquamation and how it mimics natural decomposition without the environmental downsides of flame cremation. A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Eternal Waters From fur clippings to paw prints and hand-gathered bones, hear how Lilia adds meaningful touches to each family’s experience. Green Grief Support Learn why aquamation is 90% more energy-efficient than cremation and how some families even use the nutrient-rich effluent to nurture trees or gardens. From Curiosity to Calling Discover how Lilia’s chance encounter with a YouTube video turned into a business dedicated to mindful pet farewells. Options for Every Family Whether it’s a mastiff or a tiny kangaroo mouse, Lilia and her team honor each pet with care and love, no matter their size. What Vets Don’t Always Tell You Why it’s important to ask your vet about alternatives and how you can choose a different path for your pet’s final journey. Pricing with Compassion With packages that are transparent and payment plans available, Eternal Waters prioritizes accessibility for grieving families. Advice from Lilia Fuller: You Have a Choice: Your pet is family, and you deserve to choose what feels right, not just what’s convenient or routine. Ask Questions: Don't be afraid to talk to your vet and advocate for the aftercare you believe in. Honor the Bond: Every goodbye is sacred. Lilia's process supports both the emotional and environmental aspects of that farewell. Conclusion: This episode is a beautiful reminder that the way we say goodbye matters. Sustainable, respectful pet aftercare like aquamation not only honors our pets but also reflects the love we shared with them in life. You do have options, and you don’t have to wait until you’re grieving to explore them.

  • Would You Choose Human Composting? The Future of Death Care S2EP38

    Would You Choose Human Composting? The Future of Death Care S2EP38
    2025/03/25
    Episode Summary: In this episode of Thoughtful Planning, Santiago and Honey explore a revolutionary and eco-conscious death care option: human composting, also known as Natural Organic Reduction (NOR). With support from Recompose, a green funeral home in Seattle, they walk you through how this gentle, sustainable process transforms a human body into nutrient-rich soil and how it might just change the way we think about our final act on Earth. From the science behind it to the ceremonies that honor the process, this episode offers a compassionate and informative look into a future where death gives back to life. Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only. Please consult local professionals or Recompose directly for personalized guidance. Essential Question: How can human composting provide a sustainable and meaningful alternative to conventional death care? Episode Highlights: What is Human Composting? A breakdown of the process from body to soil in as little as 7 weeks. The Ceremony Families can participate in a “laying-in” ritual at Recompose, complete with natural cloths, plant material and emotional closure. The Science Microbial activity, temperature monitoring, and soil curing make this process both safe and eco-efficient. Environmental Impact Human composting uses 87% less energy than cremation and reduces over a metric ton of carbon emissions per body. Cost Comparisons At around $7,000, human composting is competitively priced compared to traditional burial and cremation and it gives back to the planet. Legal & Eligibility Info Currently legal in 12 states (with Texas legislation pending), human composting is safe for most but not suitable for those with a few rare conditions. Can You Still Be an Organ Donor? Yes! But donation to science is not compatible due to embalming requirements. How to Get Involved From writing to your state legislator to sharing the message, you can help make human composting more accessible across the U.S. Advice from Santiago & Honey: Do Your Research Explore options like Recompose to understand what’s available in your state. Talk About It Discuss eco-friendly burial options with your loved ones, even if it feels unconventional. Be Intentional Your final wishes are part of your legacy. Choose what aligns with your values and the legacy you want to leave behind. Conclusion: Human composting isn’t just a sustainable alternative. It’s a deeply meaningful, full-circle return to the earth. If you’re someone who values environmental care, this may be the choice that reflects your values even in death.
