He was buried in a mushroom casket. Soon he'll be part of the soil
Briefly

Marsya Ancker-Robert's father's wish for a natural burial led her to Loop Biotech, a pioneer in biodegradable caskets made from mycelium and hemp. Founded in 2020 by Bob Hendrikx, the company offers eco-friendly alternatives to conventional wooden caskets, enriching the soil upon decomposition within just 45 days. Ancker-Robert's father became the first U.S. burial in this innovative casket, reflecting a shift towards sustainable practices in the growing green burial market that includes various nature-based memorial solutions.
"I have confidence that my dad will be fully part of the garden by winter."
