Moore Mortuary, established in 1926, was originally located at 800 East 17th Street in Denver, Colo. In 1971, the company merged with Howard Mortuary and in 1987 the Moore Howard Mortuary merged with Olinger Mortuaries to become Olinger Moore Howard Chapel mortuary. The mortuary was located in the original 1960 Howard Morturary building at 4345 W. 46th Avenue. In 2019, the location on 46th Avenue was closed by the company and in 2020 the structure, designed by Denver architect, J. Roger Musick, was saved from demolition when it received preservation status from the City of Denver's Landmark Preservation Commission.
