Alaska Public Media hopped aboard the cemetery tour in 2011 and produced a handful of videos from the experience. Visitors to Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery can see presentations by costumed actors at certain grave sites, profiling the befallen character. All persons profiled are represented as accurately as possible, often using information available from the city’s public record. Here’s a taste of what’s coming up.
