Sorry. This type of cemetery relies on affordable. Low density burials, restricting the use of large monuments or gravestones so view sheds remain uninterrupted and the land can serve the community as a multipurpose space and as wildlife habitat. Alaska Natural Burial plans to collaborate with the Parks and Recreation Department to ensure a seamless recreational experience for all the visitors. Such collaboration secures their ability to preserve the existing habitat and wildlife corridor between Potter Marsh and the Chugach Mountains.
