Loop Living Cocoon™
The Loop Living Cocoon™ is the world’s first living coffin that enriches nature by biodegrading in just 45 days and giving our nutrients back in the most natural way. The Loop Living Cocoon™ is grown in just 7 days in a growing facility in Delft, The Netherlands, from local mushroom species and upcycled hemp fibres. This makes it 100% natural and GreenLeave certified. The Cocoon comes with a soft bed of moss as standard.

Practicalities during the funeral
The Loop Living Cocoon ™ is certified for traditional burials, natural burials and cremations. The Cocoon can be carried using the six integrated jute handles, or alternatively, shouldered for ease of carrying. During the burial it can be lowered with a mechanical lift system, as well as with ropes. Due to its hydrophobic properties, the Cocoon is perfectly suitable for use during a wake on a mobile mortuary refrigerator or for funerals in the rain. The Cocoon can be stored indefinitely when it is placed in a dry and ventilated space, just like conventional coffins.

The first time I touched the coffin it was much softer and lighter than I had expected. It truly is a unique material, so it surprised me how versatile the coffin actually is in its normal use for funerals and cremations!Funeral director
My grandmother and I like to spend time in the woods together. The personal attention we received during the process was heart-warming and made the experience for me and my grandmother both peaceful and respectful.Nina
