Choose the Correct Evans Location Before You Search

Use this guide to find the correct obituary, match the right person, confirm every service location and move to official Ohio records when legal proof is required.

Which Evans Funeral Home Are You Looking For?
“Evans Funeral Home” is not one national company. The exact recent-obituary search most often leads to John H. Evans Funeral Home in Milford and Goshen, Ohio.
Continue with this guide and use the official John H. Evans obituary listing.
Jump to the location checker before opening an obituary or calling a telephone number.
Use the person’s relatives, residence, service venue, church, cemetery or newspaper as location clues.
Most damaging mistake: using a Milford obituary with a Jefferson, Chapmanville, Lenoir or Columbus telephone number. Always match the website domain, city and state together.
Find John H. Evans Funeral Home Recent Obituaries
The official obituary listing covers Clermont County-area notices and services throughout Ohio. It is updated regularly and includes older pages as well as current memorials.
Use This Five-Step Search Method
Open the Official Listing
Start on the funeral home’s own obituary page rather than a Facebook repost, copied notice or people-search website.
Search the Surname First
A surname-only search can find a notice published with a nickname, middle name, maiden name or different first-name spelling.
Add the First Name
Use the legal first name first. Try a common nickname or middle name only if the legal-name search fails.
Widen the Date and Location
Try Milford, Goshen, Cincinnati, Lebanon, Loveland, Batavia, Amelia, Blanchester or another known Ohio connection.
Open the Full Memorial
Compare dates, relatives, location, service schedule and funeral-home branch before deciding the result belongs to the correct person.
When you are ready to search, open the official John H. Evans Funeral Home obituary listing.
Insider search trick: the obituary heading may use a legal name while the introduction uses a nickname. Search both forms, but verify the individual memorial before sharing.
Search Recipes That Reduce Missed Results
Too Few Results
Remove the middle name, use the surname alone, widen the date and try Milford or Goshen separately.
Too Many Results
Add a spouse, parent, school, church, employer, cemetery or approximate service month.
Read the Obituary Page Before You Take Action
An individual Evans memorial may contain more than obituary text. Look for the service schedule and location controls before travelling, ordering flowers or adding an event to your calendar.
| Memorial-page feature | What it helps confirm | Practical caution |
|---|---|---|
| Obituary text | Name, age, relatives, community and life details. | Do not use biography alone to confirm service changes. |
| Service schedule | Visitation, funeral, memorial or burial date and time. | Check whether each event has a different venue. |
| Eastern Time label | The local time zone used for scheduled services. | Travellers should convert the time before leaving. |
| Add to calendar | Creates a personal calendar entry. | A saved calendar event will not automatically reflect later changes. |
| Directions | The address attached to that specific event. | Do not assume every service occurs at the funeral home. |
| Guestbook | Where public condolences may be posted. | Avoid private, medical, financial or disputed information. |
| Flowers or memorial gifts | Family-approved tribute options shown on the memorial. | Check for “in lieu of flowers” instructions first. |
Use the Four-Match Identity Rule
Legal name, middle name, nickname, maiden name or former surname.
Age, birth date, death date or expected publication period.
Relatives, residence, school, church, military service or employer.
Milford or Goshen branch, service venue, cemetery or officiating church.
Do not match by name alone. Similar names can appear across Clermont County, Greater Cincinnati and other Evans Funeral Home websites.
Confirm the Correct Evans Funeral Home Location
John H. Evans Funeral Home operates Milford and Goshen locations. The individual obituary determines which branch or outside venue applies to a particular service.
| Location | Official address | Telephone | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milford | 741 Center Street Milford, OH 45150 |
513-831-3172 | Milford-location questions and services specifically assigned to this branch. |
| Goshen | 1944 State Route 28 Goshen, OH 45122 |
513-722-3272 | Goshen-location questions and services specifically assigned to this branch. |
Use the official Milford location page when the memorial names Milford.
Use the official Goshen location page when the memorial names Goshen.
Availability: the official funeral-home site states that staff are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Use emergency judgment respectfully; routine search or guestbook questions can usually wait for normal office handling.
The 48-Hour Service Rule
If the visitation or funeral is today, tomorrow or within 48 hours, reopen the live memorial and call when any detail is unclear.
- Confirm Milford, Goshen or an outside venue.
- Verify the event date and Eastern Time.
- Check whether visitation and funeral occur at different places.
- Confirm whether burial is at a separate cemetery.
- Ask whether attendance is public or private.
- Check weather or family-directed schedule changes.
- Save each address separately.
- Recheck the memorial before leaving.
Service-Confirmation Script
“Hello, I am checking the public service information for [full name]. The memorial shows [date, time and location]. Can you confirm the correct Evans branch or outside venue, whether the service is public, whether burial is elsewhere and whether anything has changed?”
What to Do When the Evans Obituary Is Missing
Do not repeat the identical search. Change one variable at a time so you can identify whether the issue is the name, date, location or funeral provider.
-
1
Search the surname only. Remove an uncertain middle name, city or date.
-
2
Try other name forms. Use nicknames, maiden names, former surnames, initials and hyphenated spellings.
-
3
Widen the date. A memorial may be posted after the family finalizes service arrangements.
-
4
Search nearby Ohio communities. Try Milford, Goshen, Loveland, Lebanon, Batavia, Amelia, Cincinnati or another connection.
-
5
Verify the funeral-home name. The family may have selected another provider with a similar surname.
-
6
Check another Evans business. Use the city and state rather than assuming every Evans obituary is on the Ohio page.
A missing public notice is not proof of wrongdoing. The family may choose a delayed notice, private service, limited memorial or no online obituary.

Appropriate
A short condolence, memory, expression of support or respectful message to the family.

Home addresses, telephone numbers, account information, medical details, family disputes and unconfirmed cause-of-death claims.
Ask for Itemized Funeral Prices Before Agreeing
John H. Evans publishes service-pricing resources that include its General Price List and separate merchandise lists. Review the current documents rather than relying on an old package price quoted by another website.
Price Documents to Request or Review
- General Price List
- Casket Price List
- Outer Burial Container Price List
- Cremation urn prices
- Transportation and vehicle charges
- Facility, staff and ceremony charges
- Cemetery or third-party cash-advance items
- Financing or insurance-assignment terms
Use the funeral home’s official service-pricing page to review current lists and options.
Federal consumer right: under the FTC Funeral Rule, a funeral provider must give consumers a General Price List to keep when they ask in person about funeral goods or services. Providers must also give accurate price information over the telephone when asked.
Before approving a package, read the FTC Funeral Rule consumer guidance.
Price-Information Script
“Please provide the current itemized prices for the basic services fee, transfer, preparation, facilities, staff, transportation, cremation or burial option, merchandise and cash-advance items. Please also explain which items are optional.”
Cost-control trick: compare the total itemized arrangement—not only the advertised package. Ask which charges come from the funeral home and which are passed through from the cemetery, newspaper, clergy, flowers or permits.
Use an Ohio Death Certificate When an Obituary Is Not Enough
An Evans obituary is a public memorial, not certified legal proof. Banks, insurers, estates, pensions, property offices and government agencies may request a certified Ohio death record.
| Document | Primary use | Certified legal record? |
|---|---|---|
| Evans obituary | Public biography, service information and remembrance. | No |
| Funeral-home statement or invoice | Arrangement and payment documentation. | Not a death certificate |
| Ohio death certificate | Legal, financial, estate and government requirements. | Yes |
