Mushroom Coffins: A New Kind of Funeral | Melbourne News
Description
Australia just had its first mushroom coffin burial — a mycelium-and-hemp coffin that breaks down in 45 days and nourishes the soil. Carolyn, a 70-year-old who loved giving back, was laid to rest in Springwood Cemetery, her husband saying it perfectly matched her spirit. Inspired by European and U.S. trends, Loop Biotech’s eco-friendly design mirrors nature’s cycle, reflecting a global shift toward meaningful, sustainable end-of-life rituals as traditional funerals evolve.
