Family owned & operated since 1885
The Larkin Difference
Seven generations of one Utah family, caring for yours — with the time, attention, and heart that only a family business can give.
Care that comes from family
At Larkin Mortuary, the people who own the business are the people who serve your family. We have been owned and operated by the Larkin family for five generations, and that has shaped everything about how we care for the families who walk through our doors.
It means decisions are made here in Utah, by people who live in this community and answer for the care you receive. It means we measure ourselves not by how quickly we can finish, but by how completely we can honor a life. When experience and a personal touch matter most, that difference is something families feel.
What sets Larkin apart
Six things every family receives, woven into a single, seamless experience.
Truly family owned
When you call Larkin, you reach our family. The same family that founded this mortuary still leads it today — personally accountable for every detail of your loved one’s care.
Seven generations of experience
Since 1885, our family has walked alongside Utah families through their hardest days. Many of us grow up in the business — starting as teenagers in the cemeteries and flower shop — so caring for families is second nature by the time we serve yours.
Beautiful, welcoming spaces
Historic chapels, garden settings, and reception centers across the Salt Lake Valley give every family a place that feels worthy of the person being remembered.
Personal, unhurried care
We give families our time. Your funeral director listens, guides gently, and tailors every service to the life it honors — never a template, always a tribute.
Everything in one place
Mortuary, cemetery, crematory, floral, and monument design are all part of Larkin. One trusted team coordinates the details, so your family can focus on each other.
A relationship that lasts
Our care doesn’t end on the day of the service. Through ongoing gatherings and support, Larkin stays part of your family’s story for years to come.
More than a service — a relationship
The Larkin difference continues long after the funeral, through traditions and programs created to keep families connected and supported.
- The Garden of Resurrection — a living, lasting memorial where families return to remember those they love.
- Scatter Day — an annual gathering that brings families together in a meaningful tribute of remembrance.
- The Larkin Seniors Club — events, education, and friendship that build relationships long before they are needed.
- Grief & healing resources — compassionate support to help your family take the next steps, together.
