Evans Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services

Evans Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, located at 8800 Harford Road in Parkville, Maryland, is a distinguished family-owned funeral home with a legacy dating back to 1865. Founded by Charles F. Evans, the business began when funeral services were conducted from the founder's own home, as formal funeral homes did not yet exist. Over four generations, the Evans family has built a reputation as a respected leader in the funeral industry, blending tradition with compassionate, professional care.

The Parkville location, established in the 1950s after the purchase of a parsonage from Hiss United Methodist Church, became the first funeral home in the area. Today, it stands at the corner of Putty Hill and Harford Road, directly across from St. Ursula's Church. The business has expanded to include facilities in Forest Hill (opened in 1993) and Monkton (opened in 2009, formerly the Henry W. Jenkins & Sons Company). Notably, the Forest Hill location is the only funeral home in Harford County with its own crematory, and a formal chapel was added there in 2011.

Evans Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to honor each loved one's unique life and legacy. These include traditional funeral services, cremation services, veterans services, and pre-planning options. The facility features an onsite chapel, wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, restrooms, and seating, ensuring comfort for all guests. Financial assistance and prepayment plans are available to help families manage expenses during difficult times.

The dedicated team of licensed and trained funeral directors handles all technical arrangements with empathy and expertise, guiding families through every step of the process. With a 4.6-star rating from 84 reviews on Google Maps, Evans Funeral Chapel is highly regarded for its professionalism and supportive care.
