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 human nutrients back in the most natural way. The Loop Living Cocoon™ is grown in just 7 days from local mushrooms and upcycled hemp fibres. This makes it 100% natural and GreenLeave certified.
You can select between a “Wild” or “Calm” Loop Living Cocoon™
€995 (incl. VAT)
The Loop Living Cocoon™ is a 100% natural product, grown from mycelium: the underground root network of mushrooms. By collaborating with nature, we grow our Cocoon in just 7 days in our factory in Delft, the Netherlands, using only local mushrooms and upcycled hemp.
The thousands of fibres of the dense underground fungal network make mycelium a particularly light and sturdy material, suitable for growing a living product. By naturally drying the organism, the Cocoon gets its strength and stiffness, without losing the living properties of mycelium.
In nature, mycelium is the driving force behind the natural cycle of life, by continuously transforming dead organic matter into key nutrients for new seedlings to grow. This unique power enables the Loop Living Cocoon™ to rapidly become one with nature, transforming our human nutrients into a source for new life to thrive.
The soft bed of moss inside the Loop Living Cocoon™ cradles you in nature’s warm embrace, giving the Cocoon a soothing scent of the forest. A lining of sustainable linen is available upon request.
In celebration of autumn, we launched a special edition of our living products. The Loop Living Cocoon™ and Loop EarthRise™ are also available in a ‘Wild’ version. These products feature unique colors that originated due to the special conditions in which they grew. As a result, each product possesses its own original charm and is truly one of a kind.
Each Loop Living Cocoon™ is unique. The photos serve as a representation of the overall appearance of these coffins.
The Loop Living Cocoon™ is 100% natural and grown from local mushrooms and upcycled hemp fibres. Despite its unique material properties, the experience of using the Loop Living Cocoon™ for a funeral remains similar to that of conventional coffins. The Loop Living Cocoon™ is in stock and available for funerals.
- The Loop Living Cocoon™ is certified for traditional burials, natural burials and cremations.
- The material of the Loop Living Cocoon™ is hydrophobic and therefore perfectly suitable for a wake on a mobile mortuary refrigerator or during a funeral in the rain.
- Every coffin is a unique organism, so we carefully test them all on quality and strength by lifting 200 kg. The coffin itself weighs 30 kg.
- The Loop Living Cocoon™ can be carried with the six jute handles grown to the Cocoon. The Cocoon can also be shouldered.
- During the burial, the Loop Living Cocoon™ can be lowered with a mechanical lift system, as well as with ropes.
- The Loop Living Cocoon™ can be stored indefinitely when it is placed in a dry and ventilated space, just like a conventional coffin. The Loop Living Cocoon™ should be stored horizontally.
- Inner Dimensions: length 195 x width 58 x height 35 (cm). Outer Dimensions: length 216 x width 75 x height 45 (cm).

“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 (The Hague, Netherlands)
“My grandmother and I like to spend time in the woods together. When she saw the living coffin on television, she expressed her desire to become part of this natural cycle of life as well, so we reached out to Loop. The personal attention we received during the process was heartwarming and made the experience for me and my grandmother both peaceful and respectful.”
Nina (The Hague, The Netherlands)
