In the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, a woman named Carolyn became the first Australian laid to rest in a coffin grown from mycelium and hemp — a vessel designed not to endure, but to dissolve. Her burial at Springwood Cemetery is a quiet inflection point in how a society negotiates its relationship with mortality, the earth, and the meaning we assign to what we leave behind. As religious frameworks recede and ecological awareness deepens, the question of how we return to the world is becoming, for many, as considered as how we lived within it.
