Martha Stewart is certainly making headlines with her unconventional plan for the afterlife. During her recent appearance on the“50+&Unfiltered”podcast, she confessed she doesn’t want to follow traditional paths like burial or cremation. Instead, she plans to be composted—a choice she feels mirrors how she cares for her deceased horses on her farm. It’s a rather earthy decision, which aligns perfectly with her long-standing love for nature and sustainability.
Stewart explained how she lovingly lays her horses to rest by wrapping them in linen and digging a deep grave. She believes this method connects her back to the earth. And she’s quite unapologetic about it, declaring it’s her choice and property, regardless of any legal ramifications. With her history of dramatic near-death experiences, the queen of homemaking is ready to leave her mark in a way only she can envision.
It certainly raises questions about how different our views on death can be and whether we should rethink what it means to leave a legacy. Martha’s plan may be thought-provoking, but it’s also a conversation starter about sustainable practices even in our final moments.
