Evans Mortuary was established in 1976 by Thomas R. Evans, Jr. Prior to opening his business, he worked for Booth Funeral Home in Rockwood. While there, he developed an interest in the funeral industry and went on to attend John A. Gupton College in Nashville and graduated in 1970. Later, he purchased the property on Gateway Avenue, built a small facility and opened his own business in November 1976. Some additional duties he had were serving as county coroner from 1974 to 1978 and providing a convalescent ambulance service until 1983. Over the years, Evans Mortuary has earned the trust of the community in meeting families’ needs during times of grief.
