Our ceremony of farewell for this amazing woman was filled with smiles, tears and so much love. Brenda lived 100 years and certainly made a positive impact on everyone who met her. Her fine qualities, generous nature and bright personality will be deeply missed x

This is interesting 🤔

The U.S. has witnessed its first burial using a mushroom coffin, a biodegradable casket made of mycelium, the root structure of fungi. These coffins break down naturally and absorb body toxins, returning the body to the soil in a clean, eco-friendly way.

Mycelium grows around an organic frame and biodegrades in 30 to 45 days after burial. It’s part of the emerging green burial movement, aiming to replace traditional caskets and chemical embalming.

This new form of burial offers a sustainable, regenerative return to the Earth, aligning life, death, and ecology.

Our ceremony of farewell to Hilary was done in true style - including Indian music, people wearing orange , a photo montage and poetry. She was a remarkable woman, kind, thoughtful, supportive, generous and fun. She worked hard and was well known at New Coley Nurseries and her adventurous spirit took her all over the world. She was much loved.
