Goff Mortuary

Goff Mortuary was started in 1915 in downtown Midvale, Utah. Like many mortuary businesses around the turn of the century, a second business was operated in conjunction with the mortuary. Furniture manufacturing and repair helped carry the mortuary business until it was able to survive on its own. The original founder and owner was Clifford I. Goff who managed the firm until his son, Louis E. Goff joined him. Louis eventually purchased the mortuary from his father and with the help of friends, family and part-time employees enjoyed growth. In the mid 1950's, Louis hired Gates P. Christensen and later sold him a portion of the business. Goff Mortuary was incorporated in the early 1960's and a new mortuary was built at 8090 S. State Street. In 1971, Gates Christensen and Del Ballard purchased the remainder of the mortuary from the Goff Family. After Gates retired, Del Ballard along with a team of licensed funeral directors and embalmers accepted the responsibility of continuing the Goff Mortuary tradition.
