Larkin Mortuary

Larkin Mortuary, at 260 East South Temple, has been a pillar in the community for 125 years. Larkin Mortuary's longevity is due to the genuine care and service this family-owned and operated business provides. When it comes to memorial services, the Larkin family truly knows how to make planning funeral arrangements less daunting. They offer a full range of memorial services with their funeral home, cemetery, indoor and outdoor mausoleum, crematory, floral cottage and monument and vault manufacturing facility.

"Providing these services makes the experience easier for families, allowing them to go through the grieving process, rather than go from one company to another and have to re-establish trust," says Spencer Larkin, secretary and treasurer. "The care and service quality through Larkin is designed to makes it easier, saving both time and heartache."

Having access to all these memorial services is definitely convenient but Spencer says, above all, Larkin has the most professional, well-trained staff in the industry. Larkin hires industry-specific and highly trained individuals, especially the funeral director who also has the important responsibility of making sure the viewing runs smoothly as well as making the deceased look his or her best.

"We have received positive comments from families letting us know that their loved one hasn't looked as good as they did in 10 to 15 years," Spencer says.

Planning funeral arrangements is a very sensitive time for the families they serve and therefore Larkin goes above and beyond to provide ongoing training for its staff. The entire staff receives continuing education and training so they are always empathetic and kind along with how to provide grief support to the families.

"This is not required but we require it of ourselves so we can provide the best services," Spencer says.

Whether it's maintaining and grooming the cemetery or preparing for a viewing, Larkin's customers can have the confidence the mortuary staff will continue to always be there for their loved ones.

Spencer says celebrating the 125th anniversary shows Larkin Mortuary has built trust in the community. The Larkin family also lives locally and because their name is on the line, Spencer says it drives them to do their best in providing exceptional memorial services.

"It's not just about business, it defines who we are," he says.
