Such a special place to visit. We like to come here on Memorial Day. It is the perfect place to be able to teach my kids about our country's liberties and how we got them. It is neat to see the flowers placed on graves. It is especially neat to see other things placed on headstones such as the coins, which have specific meaning among veterans: According to dma.mt.gov... a penny means you visited. A nickel means you and the deceased veteran trained at boot camp together. A dime means you and the deceased veteran served together in some capacity. A quarter is very significant because it means that you were there when that veteran died. The cemetery is partially on a hill so you need to climb a bit. There are in-ground headstones, crosses rising from the ground, and graves in a wall. Parking can be a little tricky on a busy day. You park along the road. There are monuments and also a huge Torpedo.

Elizabeth Brown made a man cry today when I was in there; he was trying to figure out how to take care of his wife and she screamed at him. When he asked why she was so rude she said she wasn’t rude his quite “ I have been here twice and you have been this nasty every time. He gives out personal information about people to people who do not have the right documentation and refuse the correct documentation from the right people. She stated on the phone she had a power of turned for someone who didn’t have it; when I arrived there was no documentation and she did not have the infinite information she said she had of the rules from NCA , she has no manners, no customer service skills and should not be allowed to work with public let alone families of grieving servicemen and women. Also they disrespectful have trash all over the headstone , that are not considerate of our services men.

A good place to go visit my son. Reverence and accessibility are helpful. When a 5-year-old is impressed you know it's good.

I have the honor of having family laid to rest here. It's a very nice, clean and well layed out cemetery.

Questions & Answers

Who maintains the grounds at the cemetery? My wife will have her cremains placed in a columbarium in two weeks and I noticed that many of the gardens next to the walkways are full of weeds.

There is a crew that maintains the grounds. I'm not aware of a problem with weeds. My daughter is buried there, never really had a problem. They are very busy with funerals everyday that I visit.

Does the veteran need to be a resident of Utah or is this for any veteran who has served their country?

It is for any. Veteran Who sold the world country?

Some cemeteries have a map to all graves. Why doesn't this one so that those visiting on a weekend don't have to wait till the weekdays when the office is open in order to get information?
