The newest national cemetery, dedicated in 2014, Yellowstone provides a unique look into how these…read moresites begin, grow, and are maintained. From visiting older national cemeteries predating the genesis of the national veterans cemetery, I had a great opportunity to hear about the process and see how they've evolved. It's so new, that in addition to recent burials for which there's still no headstone, there's a spot as you come in, where the crypts are still visible, aligned, and soon will be covered with grass. It's a view not often available with respect to how these cemeteries create the precise placement of the sites and headstones. It's also somewhat sobering. I had the chance to speak with the Post Commander from the American Legion and his wife, both of whom have been involved from the beginning in getting state and federal approval for Montana to have a National Cemetery of its own. They explained the process, the plans for expanding the cemetery, increasing the columbarium niches, how those veterans who've left the state have opted to come back to be buried here and told me the stories of a couple of veteran "notables". It was an opportunity for a look-behind the scenes at learning what is involved with these places that honor our veterans. The land was donated to the state. Yellowstone National Cemetery is the first of many more new National Cemeteries authorized by Congress. This location seems empty compared with others, but it's only an illusion, I think. It's a nice location.

We ordered and prepaid for a grave marker for my husband in October 2023, when we were in Wyoming…read morefor his graveside service. Understanding that ground conditions in Wyoming are such that installing the marker would be delayed, we were assured it would be in by Memorial Day. When family visited on Memorial Day, and no marker was present, I started calling the company to check out the problem. "There was a problem with the foundation not meeting the requirements of the cemetery", though they service this cemetery regularly. I was assured that would be corrected "next week". I called again on June 12, since I had still received no confirmation that the stone was set, and again insured it would be installed "next week". Not having heard from them after that conversation, I called on July 26 and left a message. On August 5, I finally received a text message from them, with no comment, but with a photo of the newly set stone, presumably set where we had requested, though there is nothing in the picture to confirm the surrounding area. We live in another state and it feels like the Monument company has less than appropriate concern for customers who are long distance and might not have concern for their departed family member or other mourners who wish to honor the deceased.

Unfortunately, I've had to come here twice within the past two months for loved ones. The only…read morething that helped me was this business. These people are truly kind and caring about the situations they deal with here. The facilities are very clean, private, and home-y. The employees are very understanding and well-spoken. An additional thing I like is that they don't seem to mass-produce the urns. The one I picked for my grandmother isn't on the shelves anymore, and the one I chose for my mother was off the shelf almost the very next day, so I can really appreciate the individuality of it.

Smiling Dog Records has my vote as one of the more interesting music stores -- as in vinyl records…read more-- in the area. Maybe because it's in downtown Billings in an older area that somehow seems a fitting spot for a throwback way of listening to music, or maybe it's because there is an extraordinary collection of records in all genres, or perhaps it's the turntables for sale. I don't know exactly, but I spent quite a bit of time exploring. As I walked in, the owner explained the general layout and then left me to do what I enjoyed most -- exploring. It was a treasure hunt. There are some newer albums, of course, if you want to expand your collection without going to a box store. Some of the older albums, a few of them, appeared to be in their original shrinkwrap, so it would be like buying new, if that counts. The prices are reasonable, and even the rarer finds are not out of the range of reasonable. What I like, and didn't realize I missed with today's methods of delivering music, is the cover art. Sometimes just the front, sometimes the front and back, and sometimes both front and back and in a foldout, the art is truly extraordinary. Of those that had the picture of the artist, it's jarring to see how young that person looked (that was Rod Stewart? really?). Whew.
