Live Stock Mortality Composting

Mortality composting is where you take an animal high in nitrogen and cover it with co com sting materials that are high in carbon. It's an aerobic process, so it requires oxygen and it requires plenty of moisture as well. In about nine months, all that remains is a nutr rich compost. The flesh has been decomposed entirely, as have the bones. And i set out on a plan to re design death care. Could i create a system that was beneficial to the earth, that used nature as a guide, rather than something to be feared?
