Ever wonder why it matters that we have a crematory within our family of funeral homes? šŸ•Šļø

It means your loved one is always cared for by people right here in our area — not sent out of state, not handed off to strangers. It’s all handled by folks you know and trust.

Because our sister location operates the crematory, we’re able to:
āœ… Take care of every step within our own funeral home family
āœ… Make sure your loved one is treated with dignity and respect the whole way through
āœ… Give you peace of mind knowing exactly who is caring for them
āœ… Offer more personal options and better communication

Some funeral homes have to send your loved one off to another company. With us, it stays in the family — our funeral home family. That’s the kind of care we’d want for our own, and it’s the kind we’re proud to give yours. šŸ’›

November is National Veteran and Military Families Month, and we just want to take a moment to say how grateful we are for the men and women who serve—and for the families who stand beside them.šŸ’™

Your strength, sacrifice, and support make a difference every single day. Whether it’s a parent, spouse, child, or friend, we see you and appreciate all that you give.

We’re proud to honor veterans and their families with the respect and care they deserve—both in life and in remembrance.

We’ve got something special to celebrate! šŸŽ‰

Our very own Phil McGehee has officially become a Funeral Director Assistant, and we couldn’t be more proud.

This new position was created by a bill passed earlier this year to help address the shortage of funeral directors in Oklahoma. To qualify, applicants must be recommended by their funeral home, be of good moral character, apply to the state, pass an exam, and be approved by the Oklahoma Funeral Board. And we’re thrilled to share—Phil was accepted! šŸ‘

This means Phil can now meet with families when a death occurs, help arrange funerals, coordinate and oversee services, and direct interments.

If you know Phil, you know he’s the perfect fit for this role—steady, kind, and always ready to lend a hand. We’re so grateful to have him as part of our Evans & Miller family and even more grateful for the way he serves our community every single day.

Today, we pause to honor the men and women who’ve served our country with courage, sacrifice, and heart.

Freedom isn’t free—and we’re grateful for every veteran who’s worn the uniform and for the families who’ve stood beside them. šŸ’™

It’s our privilege to serve veterans and their families with the respect and honor they deserve. From special services to keepsakes and burial options, we’re proud to help celebrate a life of service. 🌿

Thank you, veterans. Today and every day, we remember.

It’s important to us to stay aware of good resources that can help families through tough times. šŸ’™

One we recently heard of is "It’s OK That You’re Not OK" by Megan Devine. It’s an honest, compassionate book that reminds readers grief doesn’t have a timeline—and that it’s okay to feel what you feel.

We’re always looking for ways to better support our community, whether that’s through care, conversation, or sharing tools like this one.
