Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shroud?

A shroud is a soft, natural cloth used to gently wrap a loved one. It can be used with or without clothing and offers a simple, intimate and respectful goodbye. It is often combined with a carrier or coffin. Families choose our shrouds together with our mushroom products for a beautiful, natural, and dignified farewell. It’s a way to stay close, honour tradition, or return to nature in a personal way.

Is a shroud included with the Loop Living Cocoon™ or Loop ForestBed™?

No, a shroud is not included as standard. We offer it as a separate option, so you can choose the material that best reflects your values, personal wishes, or those of your loved one.

What shroud materials are available?

You can choose from three natural and soft fabrics: sheep’s wool, soft bio-cotton or hemp. Each material is fully biodegradable, selected for its purity and comfort, and suitable for both natural burial and cremation.

Wool
Opt a shroud 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 woolen shroud has a density of 500 g/m2.

Soft Bio-cotton
The bio-cotton shroud 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 bio-cotton sourced from Europe and has the GOTS label (Global Organic Textile Standard). The soft bio-cotton shroud has a density of 320 g/m2.

Hemp
Hemp, a rapidly growing plant with minimal water requirements, is cultivated without the need for herbicides or insecticides. Our choice of hemp is one of the fastest growing species. Sourced and processed in Europe, where it is also spun and woven and is Greenleave approved. The hemp shroud has a density of 345 g/m2

Are the shrouds biodegradable?

All our shrouds are made from 100% natural materials, free from synthetic additives, and will gently return to the earth. They are suitable for natural burial, traditional cemetery burial, and cremation.

Can I use a shroud without a coffin?

Shrouds can be used on their own, especially in combination with the Loop ForestBed™, which is designed for open laying-out. They can also be used during viewings or ceremonies before cremation or burial. Always check with your funeral provider for local regulations.
