About Us

Brent E. Shain has served Southeast Oklahoma for over 30 years beginning in Hugo during December 1984, as a location manager for Lampton-Mills and Coffey Funeral Homes. Soon after he became the district manager over the Southeast and Western Region of Oklahoma for the Mills Family Funeral Homes and continued his service until 1991. Brent and Mary wanted to return to Hugo and raise their family in the small town they grew to love. They began ‘Building a New Tradition’ by opening the Mt. Olive Funeral Home in Hugo during September of 1992. Brent and Mary trained up their four children in Hugo, Oklahoma, and continue to work daily in the family business. At all of the locations, the vision is: "Serving families in their greatest hour of need with dignity and compassion.”
