Bury me in a mushroom 🍄 suit please

No embalming.
Biodegradable box.

Hey...I'm 62. Got to plan ahead. 😎

Seriously though.
This is a good idea.
Good for him.


Luke Perry's daughter says he was buried in a mushroom suit

"My dad discovered it, and was more excited by this than I have ever seen him. He was buried in this suit, one of his final wishes. They are truly a beautiful thing for this beautiful planet, and I want to share it with all of you." she finished her post.

If the whole point is to make a person's body biodegrade faster than cremation would be the way to do it, right?

purely from the viewpoint of a gardener, totally destroys that good organic matter.
releases a lot of greenhouse gases, too. microbial rot releases a lot of co2, but fungal decomposition doesnt.

lots of eco benefits. toss a couple tree seeds in there, and you have a worthwhile monument, instead of a hunk of stone.
