The Loop Living Cocoon™ is the world’s first coffin made from mushrooms. Grown in just 7 days from local mushrooms and upcycled hemp fibres
A New Way to Return to Nature: Loop Biotech
At Closing Circles, we believe every family deserves options that reflect what truly matters to them, whether that’s tradition, faith, simplicity, or something entirely new. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Arrow Bronze, the official Australian and New Zealand distributor for Loop Biotech, bringing their world-first mushroom coffins and urns to families across Perth and Western Australia.
What is Loop Biotech?
Loop Biotech is the company behind the world’s first mushroom coffin, the Loop Living Cocoon™. Grown from mycelium (the root structure of mushrooms), the Cocoon is entirely natural, fully biodegradable, and designed to enrich the soil rather than sit within it unchanged for decades, the way conventional coffins do.
Since launching, Loop Biotech’s products have been chosen by more than 2,500 families worldwide, rated 5 out of 5 on Google, and recognised with genuine design honours including the German Design Award and iF Design Award. Their work has been featured by the BBC, CNN, The Guardian, and the Wall Street Journal.
Australia recently saw its first Loop Biotech farewell, a mushroom coffin funeral held in the Blue Mountains, NSW, with Arrow Bronze confirmed as the exclusive Australian distributor bringing this technology to families nationwide.
The products
Loop Living Cocoon™ — the mushroom coffin itself, certified for natural burial, traditional burial, and cremation.
Loop EarthRise™ — a mushroom urn, offering the same natural, soil-enriching philosophy for cremated remains.
Loop ForestBed™ — a mushroom carrier, a gentle, natural alternative for those who prefer a simpler resting vessel.
Why families are choosing this
For many people, the idea of returning to the earth in a way that actually gives something back, rather than leaving synthetic materials behind, feels deeply aligned with how they lived. The Living Cocoon contains no glue, no plastic, nothing but nature caring for itself, as one Loop Biotech customer described it.
It’s not for everyone, and that’s exactly the point. Just as we offer Essential, Honoured, and Traditional options for cremation and burial, and both traditional and eco-friendly choices throughout, the Living Cocoon is simply one more way for a farewell to genuinely reflect the person it’s for.
Available soon through Closing Circles
Through our partnership with Arrow Bronze, Closing Circles is bringing the Living Cocoon and related Loop products to families across Perth and WA. We’re currently working through approval with the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board (MCB) to ensure the Living Cocoon can be used at WA cemeteries and crematoria, and we’ll share updates as this progresses.
Pricing is available on application while we finalise our offering, please reach out and we’ll talk you through it directly.
If a natural, soil-enriching farewell feels right for you or someone you love, we’d welcome the chance to talk it through.
