Our History

In 1942, Garrison Mortuary was purchased by brothers Brian and Berkeley Bunker and became Bunker Brothers Mortuary and Chapel. At that time, it was located only a few blocks from what is now known as " The Old Strip" on Freemont Street. In 1964, needing more space and a modern building, the Bunker brothers built a new mortuary where it stands today on Las Vegas Blvd. at Washington Ave. In 1969, Brian, a very devout Mormon, decided to leave the mortuary business and move to Utah. In February 1999, Bunkers Mortuary joined an exclusive group of funeral service providers known as Carriage Services and through this exclusive affiliation, Bunkers provides its families with the highest quality service available. Today, Bunker's Funeral Homes & Cemeteries continues to service the Las Vegas Valley with an 80-year legacy in the community.
