For many year's I have noticed that people in Alaska have a tendency to opt for being turned to ashes when they transition instead of the traditional Lower 48 method. Most REAL Alaskans are all non-conformists; it's not just me.
I was ask one time to spread the ashes of some poor wife's husband. She wanted him flown over the mountains he loved so, and then dump the urn containing his ashes. Who can say no to a grieving widow? So I obliged.
