Yeah, um, natural burial was kind of a new, uh, prospect for me, something I hadn't considered or really heard of. Sounds very interesting. It sounds like you guys have a lot of people interested in support in that, but this— that's not what this ordinance is about.

After hearing emotional testimony from families who lost loved ones to police shootings, the Anchorage Assembly voted 8-4 Tuesday to postpone debate on a substitute version of a public safety oversight commission that would give APD and other agencies voting seats.

The Anchorage Assembly voted 11-1 Tuesday to transfer a 9.6-acre Heritage Land Bank parcel to Alaska Natural Burial, a nonprofit that will create Anchorage's first natural burial cemetery. The move addresses the city's burial space shortage after Anchorage Memorial Park reached capacity and a 2024 cemetery bond failed.
