Bear River Mutual has been headquartered in Murray, Utah since 1995. Dedication to the Utah market through independent agents, selective underwriting standards, and a focus on high-level service and shared values with our policyholders has helped make Bear River Mutual a strong and vibrant company for over 100 years. These unique qualities have aided in creating generations of loyal Bear River Mutual customers. The insurance industry has also recognized the company for its success.
