These people are wonderful. They went over and above in every possible way to help us with funeral arrangements, the visitation, service and burial, despite the fact that we had a limited budget. They were patient, kind, and treated us like family. This is a funeral home you can trust. Thank you,...

Our son recently passed away and of course you never expect to have to deal with this for your children so my wife and I were not only devastated but didn’t know what to do or where to turn next. Evans-Nordby was recommended to us by our Priest and I’m so glad he did. From the moment I talked...

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

Brittney and the staff are so comforting, easy to work with and compassionate. They make every decision simple, and the whole process as painless...
