"Dust to Dust," March 20 News
So weird that people are much more comfortable with the "traditional" method of pumping bodies full of chemicals and trapping them eternally in underground boxes than they are with the "radical" method of letting them biodegrade and return to the earth.

Great article. Starks Funeral Parlor is the best around—they are very compassionate and they care.

Thank you for doing a story on this! Hopefully, the next legislative session will be third-time's-the-charm to get the bill passed to have it offered here in Utah! Starks are truly revolutionary and amazing when it comes to after-death care.

I have to educate myself of this revolutionary idea. Starks has been, and would be my choice to deal with end of life situations. Good, solid and compassionate people.

"Hill's Bills," March 21 Online
I think that dictating what local governments can or cannot endorse is a huge overstep for Republicans.
If SLC wants to fly the Pride flag, they should be allowed to choose that because freedom of expression is a fundamental right in this country.

America voted for racism and bigotry and now we are here. Sucks for us that didn't vote for him.

Please don't veto [HB77]. Two genders, let's keep our children safe and stable.

Governments should never show overt
allegiance to any cults—and I mean,
any cults.

The [Fleet Block] plans have been shared with the families. Let's continue supporting the families at this time.

I hope the city follows through with a permanent memorial.

This was history I was able to witness with my children. They better do something that honors all of these individuals that need to be remembered and honored.

Correction: The Best of Utah Body and Mind results published in the March 20, 2025, issue of City Weekly mischaracterized the award category for Aimee Hadfield, LCSW, who was voted Best Experiential Therapist by CW readers.
