Montgomery & Steward Funeral Directors has been owned and operated by local Pueblo, Colo., families since it was started in 1922 by the Rouch family. We have never been part of a large, out-of-state corporate conglomerate, and we have no plans to sell out and become just another cog in the wheel of a corporate giant. Our philosophy is, in fact, quite different. We strongly believe in family values, and that's why we are so pleased when a family chooses Montgomery and Steward at their time of need.
