In 1948, Sterling and Arlene Nelson followed their dream and established a funeral home on the corner of 400 North and Main Street in Logan. The Nelsons dedicated their lives to serving those in need with compassion, respect, and dignity and established a tradition of trust with the citizens of Cache Valley. A new funeral chapel was erected in 1961 at 162 East 400 North, Logan, and a viewing area added some time later in Smithfield.

In 1969 John and Beverly Wheeler joined the funeral home and worked alongside the Nelsons, excelling with their service-oriented attitude and their commitment to professional excellence. In 1979 G. Ward Taylor of Rogers and Taylor Funeral Home in Tremonton became affiliated with Nelson Funeral Home, having worked with Sterling in his formative years as a funeral director. In 1982, Michael J. Chatterton joined the Nelson Funeral Home team as a funeral director, and in 1996 David M. Simmons was added to the staff.

Fifty years later, we at Nelson Funeral Home, are indebted to Sterling, Arlene and their family. We are appreciative of their hard work and dedication to serving our community.

The tradition of trust initiated by the Nelsons over 50 years ago continues today. We not only take time to understand individual needs before and during the services, we continue to assist families after arrangements have been completed. We understand that the love of a family never grows old - it just grows. A love that lasts forever.











Wilford and Edna Rogers established Rogers Mortuary in 1941, occupying an older frame home in Tremonton which Wilford remodeled himself. Prior to establishing Rogers Mortuary, Wilford managed Reed's Rite Way Appliance and Hardware Store in Logan. Wilford also worked with Larkin and Sons Mortuary in Ogden and served an apprenticeship with Loyal Hall in Logan. The mortuary made its mark by providing compassionate, caring service to individuals and families. Careful attention to detail, the founder's watchword, was always delivered with compassion and concern.




In 1964 Wilford's daughter, Lynette, married G. Ward Taylor who became the firm's first apprentice. Mr. Rogers retired to serve a mission in 1974, at which time Ward and Lynette became the owners. The firm later became known as Rogers & Taylor Funeral Home. Ward and Lynette have continued the tradition by maintaining an unsurpassed reputation for quality work and personalized attention in all aspects of funeral service, including pre-arranged funeral planning and continuing service after the funeral is completed.

In addition to serving the Bear River Valley, Rogers & Taylor Funeral Home has brought its tradition to Cache Valley. In 1979, the Taylors became affiliated with Nelson Funeral Home, with locations in Logan and Smithfield.

The professionals at Rogers & Taylor and Nelson Funeral Homes are committed to serving the needs of their respective communities with that same "careful attention to detail" established over sixty years ago by Wilford Rogers. At Rogers & Taylor Funeral Home we understand that the love of a family never grow old…it just grows. A love that lasts forever.
