Services
The history of our firm dates back to 1912, when Gaylord Elliot secured the first horse-drawn hearse used in Houston, MO. The firm was sold in 1952 to Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Duff. From 1964 to 2005 the Evans Family owned and operated the funeral home, and in 2005, Shawn and Lana Brown purchased the firm.
Staff members of Evans Funeral Home are caring and experienced professionals, who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to our staff of licensed funeral professionals. Shawn was raised in Mtn. Grove, MO and graduated from Mtn. Grove High School in 1984.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.

I have now had two family members pass and my family used this funeral homes services. Each time the lady who represents this funeral home has been shrill, unwelcoming, and completely lacks empathy for a grieving family. She is more concerned with “seating” arrangements than she is for the families being served. My husband was a pall bearer and I wanted to be sure to sit next to him as a form of comfort. I was asked to sit somewhere else and when I informed her I wished to sit with him she was rude. The funeral before this I wished to sit behind my dad since I knew he would need room for his
