Larkin operates five distinct facilities, each serving different geographic and functional needs. The downtown Salt Lake City location at 260 East South Temple serves as the flagship. Sunset Lawn and Sunset Gardens (Sandy) provide additional chapel and cemetery space. Riverton extends reach into southern Salt Lake County. The dedicated Cremation Center in Salt Lake City houses on-site cremation operations. Properties feature what the company describes as "meticulously manicured grounds with gardens and fountains." A new Garden of Resurrection and Celebration of Life Venue represent recent facility investments. The company also maintains Le Jardin as a wedding and event venue repurposable for memorial celebrations.
Larkin structures services around a continuum from immediate need through pre-planning, with particular emphasis on post-funeral family support that extends weeks or months after services conclude.
Larkin Mortuary traces its origins to 1885, making it one of Utah's longest continuously operating funeral homes. The business remains family-owned, with seven generations of the Larkin family directly involved in serving Utah families. Their downtown Salt Lake City location at 260 East South Temple anchors a network of five facilities spanning the valley, including dedicated cremation operations and cemetery properties.
The company's structure extends beyond funeral services to include vertically integrated operations: Rocky Mountain Monument & Vault for markers and burial vaults, The Rose Shop for floral arrangements, and Le Jardin for event hosting. This ecosystem allows families to coordinate multiple aspects of memorialization through a single relationship.
Larkin emphasizes what they term "aftercare"—extended support following the funeral that includes assistance with Social Security notifications, VA benefits, financial institution communications, and ongoing grief support. Multiple reviews note this service is provided at no additional charge.
