## Caption

Some North Carolina families are making an unusual choice about what to do with their bodies when they die.

Marsha and Michael Costigan are turning to a human composting company based in Washington state called Earth Funeral.

The Charlotte couple's been married more than 50 years, but Michael is nearing the end of his life.

He has primary progressive aphasia, a rare form of dementia that's forced Marsha Costigan to plan for his death without his participation.

Recent data from the National Funeral Directors Association shows 95% of people still opt for burial or cremation, but more than 60% are interested in exploring green, environmentally friendly options.
