But some other natural funeral practices are not currently legal for practice in-state. House Bill 1457, which LaMontagne sponsored, would legalize natural organic reduction in New Hampshire and lay out guidelines for regulation of the practice, mirroring state regulation of cremation and cremation facilities. LaMontagne first introduced House Bill 1324, which would have legalized natural organic reduction, in 2024; that bill was sent for interim study, where it died in committee. “We’ve joined forces, and hopefully three times will be the charm, because natural organic reduction is growing across the country,” LaMontagne said. Some companies will transport deceased individuals out of states where natural organic reduction is illegal to undergo the process elsewhere.
