"Life Forest’s Wool Cremation Burial Shrouds are elegant, soft, beautiful and made of 100 percent wool. In essence, wrapping your loved one in warm comfort. Our search for the perfect biodegradable urn option led us on a scientific journey. We wanted to ensure that whatever we placed in the earth would not only act as an environmental protectant from the alkaline in the cremains, but also would nourish our families' memorial trees as the product biodegraded. The answer came in the form of wool. Wool in fact, upon biodegrading, becomes a natural rich compost for the burial tree, releasing sulfur, nitrogen, and magnesium."

In the spring of 2021 Brent’s dad received a diagnosis of stage IV inoperable esophageal cancer and he asked Brent to build his casket. The experience along with the home burial they had for his dad planted the idea of making simple, elegant, timeless caskets for other families and helping them find alternate ways to bury their loved ones without toxic chemicals and having a more hands on and intimate approach to saying good bye."
