Great Western Insurance Company is an Ogden, Utah-based insurer that writes life insurance and annuities. Founded in 1983 by John E. Lindquist, whose family operates Lindquist Mortuaries & Cemeteries, the company draws on its funeral-home background to inform policy design and pre-need marketing support. Licensed in 46 states and the District of Columbia, it serves funeral homes, pre-need sales organizations, and the families they assist. It emphasizes conservative investment management and positions itself as a trusted financial steward for its funeral-profession clients, supported by a surplus-to-liability ratio that ranks highly in the industry. In 2020, the company expanded its product line by introducing Final Expense applications.
