Who is Mark H. Bott Company

From our humble beginnings in the old Brigham City grist mill, to this Ogden corner . Mark H. Bott Company is the trusted name in memorialization. Now over five generations strong, this family craft has been learned father to son, since 1875. Mark H. Bott Company has served Utah for over 145 years, and the state of Wyoming for over 45 years.

We are proud our heritage and our Ogden roots….remaining on the same corner since 1922. We are one of the very few companies in the United States that not only surpasses five generations, but is still owned and operated by the original family. Mark H. Bott Company does not “combine years worked”, to claim this history.

Four of our family members have received their CM – “Certified Memorialist” designation from MBNA. No one in the United States has more CM designees in one family than Mark H. Bott Company. Our owner, David Bott, has also been the National President for both Monument Builders of North America (MBNA) and American Institute of Commemorative Art (AICA) organizations.

We take pride in the quality and workmanship of our memorial designs. Standing on over a century of tradition & excellence, we recognize the value of serving each family well, and serving those civic & community organizations which trust us to memorialize those who have served our country.
