History

Established in 1956.

During WW II, James F. Morton, one of the Tuskegee Airmen, was a pilot in the 332^nd Airborne Squadron. His best friend at that time, also a pilot, was killed during a crash as he piloted a P-​40 fighter plane during training exercises. Upon recovery of the remains, James’ friend could not be viewed. This experience proved to be the impetus for the inception of the dream that led to Morton’s Mortuary, Inc
