GOING BACK IN TIME
Our History
1938-1960
Our Beginnings
The story of Sample Funeral Home began in July 1938, when W. Sample established Sample Mortuary in the heart of Weber County. Guided by a vision to provide compassionate and dignified funeral services, Mr. Sample quickly gained the trust of the community. His unwavering commitment to serving families during their most difficult times laid the foundation for our enduring legacy. In these early years, the mortuary operated as a modest yet dedicated establishment, with Mr. Sample personally ensuring that every family received exceptional care.
1960-1980
Growth and Expansion
By 1962, the growing demand for our services prompted a major expansion of our facilities, including the addition of a dedicated chapel. This state-of-the-art space provided a serene and welcoming environment for families to honor and celebrate their loved ones. The chapel, which still stands today, became a cornerstone of the mortuary’s operations. During this period, W. Sample continued to lead the business with both vision and compassion, solidifying its reputation as a trusted institution in Weber County.
1980-2000
Leadership And Our Legacy
For 37 years, Mr. Sample’s leadership was defined by his deep commitment to the community. He not only served families with care and professionalism but also actively gave back through various local initiatives and charitable endeavors. His dedication inspired a legacy of trust that continues to guide us today. As new generations took over the business, they upheld Mr. Sample’s values while bringing innovative ideas to ensure that our services remained relevant and meaningful for every family we served.
