The caring did not stop after the services. They offer their continued compassion to adults and children. With grateful hearts...

Evans-Nordby is our hometown funeral home. All of the long-time residents of Osseo have used Evans-Nordby because they are part of the local family here in Osseo and they care for our loved ones in a way no others could. They're great and have been serving our community for years.
