 Two young boys hoeing sugar beets in the farmlands of Lehi, Utah watched their uncle drive past in a big black limousine. He was handsome in his dark suit and white shirt. "That's the life for us," the two brothers said to each other. Their uncle ran a local mortuary in Lehi. From those early years it had been a dream of the two brothers to own and operate their own mortuary.Milton and Dale Russon grew up in Lehi, Utah. Both left the family farm and attended the California College of Mortuary Sciences in Los Angeles during the last days of the 1930's depression. Both served in the armed forces during WWII, were married, began families, and eventually ended up working together in a Salt Lake City Mortuary. In those days the dream of owning their own mortuary seemed remote. But in the summer of 1954, their mother, Clara Russon, saw an ad in the local newspaper advertising the sale of a mortuary in Salt Lake City, Utah. The brothers responded, financial arrangements were made, and Russon Brothers began business in November 1954. Those first years had its ups and downs but the business grew and prospered. In the summer of 1972 the brothers were approached by the owners of the Bountiful Union Mortuary to see if they were interested in purchasing the business. The brothers seized the opportunity and the purchase was finalized in the fall of that year. The Russon Brothers based their business on personal service and involvement, honesty, and dependability. They empathized with people and treated them as friends. From the start Russon Brothers has been family owned and operated. In the early days, Wilford and Clara Russon, the parents of the brothers, assisted in many ways to make the business flourish. Over the years other family member have become involved in the business. In 1986 Brent and Scott Russon (Milt's sons) and Gary Russon (Dale's son) took over the ownership and operation of the Mortuaries. They are wholly dedicated to carry on the proud tradition and manner of business their fathers began. Russon Brothers is committed to giving personal service.
