A Dutch company, Loop Biotech, has created coffins made from mycelium and hemp, promoting an environmentally friendly burial option. The first UK funeral director to stock these coffins, Poetic Endings, started offering them after overcoming Brexit-related challenges. The coffins decompose within 45 days, enriching the soil with nutrients. They gained popularity after being used for Max Leighton, the first British person buried in one, with positive feedback from both families and the public, highlighting their unique, beautiful design.
"It is such a beautiful product, it feels like nothing I have ever touched. It is like the rind of brie."
