I am excited to share our next success story with you! Billy came to Running Wolf Fitness Center one year ago as part of a weight loss challenge with Native American Community Clinic and Running Wolf Fitness Center.

Cremations Today and Years Ago at Pioneers and Soldiers
Last year over 40% of all burials in the United States involved cremation.

The vast majority of burials in Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Cemetery were full-casket burials. There are a few cremations (or “cremains,” as the they are sometimes called) but most of those were burials that took place after 1919 when the city passed an ordinance that severely restricted who could be buried in the cemetery.
Before that, cremations were rare. Religious beliefs prevented most people from considering it but there was at least one notable exception.
