Our Story
Our family has been taking care of Tulsa's families for a long time. Moores started in Claremore and moved to Tulsa by the courage and vision of a man from New Jersey. Moores has become one of our city's most respected enterprises, embodying the spirit that helped this city become such a wonderful place to live. Even before they introduced their 50₡ a month Full Family Funeral Plan (often taking chickens and other things in trade when money was really tight) they were here for the Tulsa community when they were needed most. The Moores have done so with compassion, courage and commitment, the cornerstone of generations of service to this community.
James Herbert Moore and sons, William M. and John Foreman, founded Moore Undertakers in the early 1900’s. Later they were associated with Musgrove Funeral Home of Claremore.
