Alaska
Parental Rights After Miscarriage (as of October 2023): In Alaska, parents have the right to the release and burial of their child, and - if in a hospital setting - do not have to sign a final disposition unless they request one. (Please note: Both a report and death certificate are mandatory if a stillbirth occurs after 20 weeks of gestation.)

The TEARS Foundation
As of December 2012, the Alaska Chapter of The TEARS Foundation has supported hundreds of families through our programs. Many have received emotional support, financial assistance, and attended our annual Rock & Walk where the community and bereaved families walk and raise funds together in honor of babies, never forgotten. As we continue to expand across the state, we invite you to partner with us, because together we can make a difference.
The Compassionate Friends
If you are a member (or a friend) of a family that has suffered the death of a child, The Compassionate Friends is here to help you and provide support for the family. Feel free to contact TCF’s National Office at 877-969-0010 or nationaloffice@compassionatefriends.org if you need assistance in finding a local Chapter or you have any other questions.
