9:30 a.m. Shotgun Start, Scramble Format
Mountain Dell Golf Course, Salt Lake City

Gather a foursome of friends and clients for the Bow Tie Classic in memory of Bob Biggins at Mountain Dell Golf Course.

Since its 2001 inception, the Funeral Service Foundation’s lively and welcoming golf outing has raised more than $1 million to advance its mission to support funeral service in building meaningful relationships with the families and communities it serves. 

No foursome? No problem! We’ll team you up with fellow funeral service professionals to golf, network and “take shots” out on the links. 

Your registration fee includes transportation; greens fees and cart; breakfast, lunch and drinks; and on-course games and contests. Golf clubs are also available.

New this year: We’re offering a limited number of complimentary single-player registrations to licensed funeral directors, subject to availability.

Visit FuneralServiceFoundation.org/golf to register and learn about sponsorship opportunities.

The power of music is undeniable.

Join us as we explore the importance of music at funerals and honor the memory of funeral service family members we have lost this year.
