A natural biodegradable urn made from mycelium

Victoriaville & Co. is introducing the Loop EarthRise™, a natural biodegradable urn made from mycelium that gently returns cremated remains to the earth while enriching the surrounding soil.

As cremation continues to grow across North America, many families are exploring memorial options that reflect both personal values and environmental awareness.

Developed by Loop Biotech in the Netherlands, the urn is grown from mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms. This innovative natural material forms a strong yet lightweight structure that securely holds cremated remains while supporting the natural cycle of life.

When buried in soil, the Loop EarthRise™ urn biodegrades within approximately 45 days, gradually returning nutrients to the surrounding earth and contributing to new plant growth.

Families may also choose to keep the urn at home as a decorative memorial object before burial, offering flexibility in how and when they wish to return their loved one to nature.

A meaningful response to growing interest in sustainable memorial options

As interest in environmentally responsible end-of-life options continues to grow, many families are seeking memorial choices that reflect both personal values and environmental awareness.

Biodegradable memorial products such as the Loop EarthRise™ urn offer funeral professionals an additional option to present to families looking for sustainable alternatives.

The urn combines thoughtful design with a gentle, natural aesthetic. Its soft texture, secure closure, and customizable surface allow families to create a tribute that feels both personal and respectful.

The Loop EarthRise™ urn is now available through Victoriaville & Co. across North America in the color Calm.
