Summum is a 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(A)(i) tax exempt organization incorporated in the State of Utah, USA in 1975. One of the by-laws and basic tenets of Summum is the practice of the rites of Modern Mummification and Transference. In 1986, the practice of these rites was formally recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as exempt from federal taxation.

We first introduced the public to Modern Mummification in 1975 and to the funeral industry in 1986 at the National Funeral Directors convention. Since then, we've continued to research, develop, and refine the art. Today, Summum is the only organization in the world to offer this remarkable and distinguished tradition.

Because of the world's interest in our unique offering, Summum has been featured in educational television programs such as National Geographic Explorer and "The Face of Tutankhamun," a presentation produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Shows on ABC News, the Discovery Channel, and The Learning Channel, as well as numerous radio programs, publications, and international news media, have presented stories about Summum's Modern Mummification service.
