On this week's episode of Funeral Stories, Laura researches how they bury the dead in Alaska while Casey follows up with the important questions like, "What kind of trees grow in Alaska?". First we go back in time to talk about indigenous customs and then some stories from a modern funeral director and how burials work in such a wild landscape. Inspiration for this topic came from the book, "Welcome to the GD Ice Cube" by Blair Braverman.
