janderson@ironmountaindailynews.com IRON MOUNTAIN Natural or “green” burials may be permitted in a portion of Iron Mountain Cemetery Park later this year, the city council learned Monday. “Hopefully by summer we’ll have something ready to go,” City Manager Jordan Stanchina said during a Zoom meeting. The city began exploring the idea after a community presentation in 2019 by the Keweenaw Green Burial Alliance. For a green burial, the body is not cremated nor infused with embalming chemicals that might get into the soil. It instead is placed in a biodegradable coffin or shroud and buried without a vault. Though usually less expensive than a conventional burial, the option is available at just a handful of cemeteries across the U.P.
