Late last year, Lindquist Mortuaries & ­Cemeteries (Ogden) opened its new arrangement center and community room in the Lindquist Office Building. The arrangement center includes 10,000 square feet of newly remodeled space specifically designed for families to make funeral, cremation and/or memorial arrangements. Families can host luncheons and gatherings, celebrations of life or other remembrances in the beautiful community room. In addition, 300 parking stalls at the facility, and at all eight of the company’s mortuaries, will be expanded to 10 feet wide this spring.

“Upgrades and remodels will continue as we move personnel to the arrangement center in order to better accommodate the families we serve,” said Robert Lindquist Jr., manager of the [original] Ogden Mortuary. “The upper level of the mortuary, currently offices, will be converted for use as preparation and dressing rooms.”

Said John E. Lindquist, president of Lindquist Mortuaries & Cemeteries: “This is perhaps the largest expansion in Ogden since opening our first mortuary here in the late 1800s, allowing us to better serve families.” The company is one of the state’s oldest, continuously operating businesses and has been family owned and operated for five generations, since 1867. Today, Lindquist operates eight mortuaries, three cemeteries and two crematories. lindquistmortuary.com
