A South Salt Lake mortuary facing misconduct allegations can remain open, but it will have its activities closely scrutinized under probation in the coming years, Utah’s funeral services board decided Monday.
Carver Mortuary’s former funeral directors, Tanner Carver and Shane Westmoreland, will not be running the business as it looks to recover from the scandal. Both men recently surrendered state licenses required for the job, according to Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) records.
The funeral board, part of DOPL, decided Monday to allow another Carver family member — Tyler Carver — to operate the business as funeral director.
