Luke Perry was buried in a mushroom suit his daughter has confirmed.
Sophie Perry, shared a post on Instagram that revealed that when her Dad found out there was a mushroom burial suit he was “more excited by this than I have ever seen him.”
The suit is “essentially an eco-friendly burial option via mushrooms” that the family purchased for Perry’s burial through Coeio that advertises that the suit “cleanses the body and soil of toxins that would otherwise seep into the environment” and “delivers nutrients from body to surrounding plant roots efficiently.”
The suits sell for $1500, much less than a traditional funeral. They also sell pet sizes.
“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,” the “Riverdale” actor’s daughter added.
Sophie also recently announced that she is opening a preschool in Malawi from the funds she raised on GoFundMe. The school will be named in her father’s memory.
“Our first school is finished and I can’t tell you how proud and excited I am to see it open on Wednesday. Thank you to my amazing partner Ruben for everything. Especially for fighting to name the school after my dad,” she wrote on Instagram.
Perry died on March 4 after suffering a stroke five days before.
