From the day he was born, T.J. Stevenson belonged to a funeral service family. His grandfather, Dale Stevenson, started Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Miles City in 1962. Afterward, his father, Todd, and uncles Joe and Jon – along with their respective spouses – have since spread their wings into serving communities in Montana and North Dakota.

MFDA Spring Board Meeting April, 2023 MFDA Spring District

Welcome to the final 2022 edition of the MFDA Director’s Digest. Where has this year gone? The speed with which this year has passed reminds me of the following Nathaniel Hawthorne quote: “Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.”

It has been a busy fall, and I do not know where the time goes! Winter sure came in with a bang today, and we had to postpone our district meets in both Great Falls and Missoula due to the winter storm. We were able to hold the district meetings in Miles City, Billings, and Butte. I want to thank all the firms that took the time to give me a tour of their funeral homes in those areas – I thoroughly enjoyed it. The meetings had great turnouts, and it was fun seeing everyone again. Attendees should have received an email with their continuing education certificates; if not, please let us know.
