Practicalities during the funeral

The Loop ForestBed™ is certified for traditional burials, natural burials and cremations. The ForestBed™ 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 ForestBed™ is perfectly suitable for use during a wake on a mobile mortuary refrigerator or for funerals in the rain. The ForestBed™ can be stored indefinitely when it is placed in a dry and ventilated space, just like conventional carriers.

Moss Standard
The Loop ForestBed™ comes with a soft bed and pillow of moss as standard. The moss originates from the Netherlands, and is 100% natural.

Wool
Opt for a soft bed of 100% Dutch wool sourced from Kempisch heath sheep, renowned for conservation efforts in the Kempen region. Locally made in the Netherlands and Greenleave approved. The bed of wool comes with a pillow and blanket, with a density of 500 g/m2.

Hemp
Replace the bed of moss with an elegant interior hemp lining. Hemp, a rapidly growing plant with minimal water requirements, is cultivated worldwide without the need for herbicides or insecticides. Our choice of Mediterranean hemp boasts impressive growth, reaching heights of 2.5 – 4.5 meters within just 130 – 150 days, making it one of the fastest-growing hemp species. Sourced and processed in Europe, where it is also spun and woven and is Greenleave approved. The hemp lining comes with a pillow and blanket, with a density of 345 g/m2.

Soft Bio-Cotton
Replace the bed of moss with a soft interior bio-cotton lining. The bio-cotton is a slightly thicker knitted fabric that is brushed on both sides. As a result, the fabric has a very light appearance and feels very soft. This fabric is made from organic cotton sourced from Europe and has the GOTS label (Global Organic Textile Standard). The bio-cotton lining comes with a pillow and blanket, with a density of 320 g/m2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a Loop ForestBed™?

Saying goodbye is one of life’s most meaningful moments. But traditional coffins and carriers leave behind more than memories, they leave pollution, deforestation, and carbon emissions. Most are made with synthetic glues, metal screws, and varnishes that enter the soil. Their production and transport rely heavily on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to CO₂ emissions. Shouldn’t your final act be your greatest? The Loop ForestBed™ is grown from local mushrooms and upcycled hemp fibres and empowers you to give back. It is 100% nature, fully biodegradable within 45 days, and actively enriches the soil, allowing new life to thrive. A conscious choice for those who wish to leave the world better for future generations.

Is the Loop ForestBed™ suitable for cremation, natural and traditional burials?

Yes. The ForestBed™ is certified for all types of funerals, including natural burial, traditional burial and cremation.

Can I add a shroud to the ForestBed™?

Yes. While the ForestBed™ is designed as an open carrier, many families choose to complete the farewell with a soft, natural shroud. We offer a range of beautiful and sustainable options, made from sheep’s wool, hemp, or soft bio-cotton. All are fully biodegradable and crafted to provide warmth, comfort, and dignity. View all shrouds on our accessories page.

Can I use the ForestBed™ for home viewings and with cooling plates?

Yes, it’s suitable for home or funeral home viewings, and compatible with cooling plates or cold rooms.
