"Mushrooms hold an entirely new meaning for me,"Sophie wrote alongside a photo of wild mushrooms in the Redwood State park in California.

"Any explanation I give will not do justice to the genius that is the mushroom burial suit, but it is essentially an eco-friendly burial option via mushrooms."

Sophie added that her father was beyond excited to discover the suit and requested to be buried wearing it.

"He was buried in this suit, one of his final wishes."

According to Coeio – a company that manufactures what is called an 'Infinity Burial Suit' and who created Luke's suit – the suit is "made of all natural, biodegradable material" and does three main things:

1. Cleanses the body and soil of toxins that would otherwise seep into the environment

2. Delivers nutrients from body to surrounding plant roots efficiently

3. Restarts life around the body faster than normal
