Luke Perry’s daughter, Sophie Perry, said her father was buried in a biodegradable mushroom suit that will help decompose his remains into nutrients that return to Earth

Traditional funeral services, such as embalming and cremation, contribute to our carbon footprints even after our deaths, so a growing number of environmentally conscious people are looking into sustainable alternatives for laying themselves or loved ones to rest.

I took this picture while we were there, because i thought, “damn, those mushrooms are beautiful.” Now, mushrooms hold an entirely new meaning for me. Any explanation i give will not do justice to the genius that is the mushroom burial suit, but it is essentially an eco friendly burial option via mushrooms.

Problem is, even in death, humans are killing the planet. U.S. burials entail the use of approximately 4.3 million gallons of embalming fluid a year, according Cornell University research shared by the Green Burial Council, and 827,060 gallons of that is formaldehyde, methanol and benzene.
