When the Actor Matthew Perry died last month he was buried in a $1500 environmentally friendly edible mushroom suit invented by a California company. The suit reduces the body's toxic pollutants, including lead and mercury, released during decomposition and cremation. Green burials are not a new concept. In Washington state human compost burials have been presented as an alternative burial option. Human body composts as a pot of soil can be taken home and used. In the UK services provide eco-friendly funerals, including biodegradable coffins made from materials such as bamboo, willow and woven pineapple leaves. Who knew?
