🌟 Team Member Spotlight: Doyle Mortimer 🌟
At Walker Sanderson, we’re proud to have incredible people on our team who truly care about the Orem community, and Doyle Mortimer is one of them.
Many of you may recognize Doyle from his recent run for Orem City Council. Though the election didn’t go his way, Doyle’s dedication and integrity shone brightly throughout his campaign. In a time when politics can get messy, Doyle stood tall with honesty, respect, and a genuine love for the people of Orem.
Before joining our staff, Doyle retired from a long and successful career in the printing business. But his heart has always been in serving others, and that same spirit now shines through in the compassionate care he provides to families at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home and Crematory.
We’re honored to have Doyle on our team and grateful for his continued commitment to our Orem community. While he may not be serving from a council seat, he’s still making a difference every day, helping families when they need it most.
Thank you, Doyle, for your example of kindness, service, and integrity. We’re proud to call you part of our Walker Sanderson family. 💙

Tom Sanderson: A Legacy of Service That Continues Today

For over 45 years, Tom Sanderson has been a cornerstone of funeral service in the Orem community. As one of the founders of Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, Tom helped shape the values, reputation, and personal care that families have come to trust.

While many in the community have heard that Tom has retired, we want to clear up the rumor: Tom is still very much involved. Although he has stepped back from full-time work to enjoy more time with his wife, Kim, and their growing family, Tom continues to serve on our Board of Directors, helping guide the future of Walker Sanderson with the same wisdom and compassion that built our foundation.

He still assists on services, and many families continue to request him by name—and we want you to know that he’s here for you. His deep roots in the Orem community and unmatched commitment to caring for families remain a vital part of who we are.

We are proud and grateful to still have Tom Sanderson as part of our team and our legacy.

Orem and Provo, UT cremation and funeral services, offered by a family-owned funeral home in the Provo and Utah area.
