Have you always wondered why some headstones in Montana cemeteries look like carved tree trunks? Have you ever strolled through your local cemetery and wondered what an “Oddfellow” was, or why there are altars and incense burners near graves that have Chinese or Japanese inscriptions?

Join us in Helena at the Large Community Room on October 17 from 11am to 4pm to learn more about cemetery symbolism in Montana.

Please note: workshop registration closes Wednesday, October 14.



Afterlife Party

We'll round out the day with an Afterlife Party at The Montana Club. Join fellow participants and presenters for an opportunity to continue the conversation, share what you've learned, and celebrate a fascinating day of Montana history.
