Adkins Funeral Home Obituaries: Search, Services, Location & Local Family Help
Adkins Funeral Home publishes its official obituary listing for families connected with Enon, Springfield and surrounding Clark County communities. The official memorial page is the best place to verify the person, service date, visitation, funeral or memorial location, burial information and any family-approved instructions.
The funeral home lists its location as 7055 Dayton Road, Enon, OH 45323, with telephone (937) 864-2288. This guide also explains what to do if a death has just occurred, what to bring to an arrangement meeting, how to ask about current prices, where to order Clark County death certificates, and where estate matters are handled locally.

How to Find an Adkins Funeral Home Obituary
-
Open the official Adkins obituary page. Use the funeral home’s own obituary archive rather than a copied obituary, people-search website or social-media screenshot.
-
Use the “Find by Name” search. Start with the deceased person’s full name.
-
Simplify the name if no result appears. Try first and last name only, surname only, maiden name, nickname, middle initial removed or a spelling variation.
-
Open the complete obituary. Do not rely only on a search preview. Use the individual “Visit Obituary” result to review the complete memorial.
-
Verify the correct person. Compare life dates, age, Enon/Springfield-area connection, family information and service details.
-
Read each event separately. Visitation, funeral or memorial service, church service and burial may have different times and addresses.
-
Save the official memorial link. Share the live individual obituary URL rather than a screenshot when service information matters.
Find by Name → enter the person → open Visit Obituary → confirm identity → read the service information → record the exact venue and time.
For another example of searching a large funeral-home archive without relying on a search-engine preview, see the Heritage Funeral Home obituary archive guide.
If the Adkins Obituary Is Missing or Hard to Find
Before Driving to a Visitation, Funeral or Burial
The service venue and burial destination can be separate trips. The Haysi Funeral Home obituary guide is a useful example of why funeral-home and cemetery directions should be treated separately.
If a Death Has Just Occurred
Adkins publishes specific guidance based on where the death occurred. The correct first step can differ for a home death, an unattended death, a hospital or nursing-home death, or a person receiving hospice care.
At home or work
If the person was under a physician’s care, Adkins says family should contact the appropriate emergency/medical personnel and physician as circumstances require. If the death occurs at home with family present and the person is under a physician’s care, the family can also contact the funeral home.
Unattended residence death
Adkins’ guidance says police need to respond before the deceased is removed when a person is found deceased in a residence and no one was present at the time of death.
Hospital, nursing home or hospice
Facility staff handle required notifications. Hospice families should follow hospice instructions; after required release, the funeral home can take the deceased into its care.
Choose the situation matching where the death occurred → follow the notification instructions → call Adkins if you are unsure → arrange a meeting with the funeral director.
What Happens at the Arrangement Meeting
Adkins’ official guidance says the funeral arranger first provides the funeral home’s General Price List and then works through the choices and information needed for arrangements.
Staff may work through
- Preparing and filing the death certificate
- Setting service dates, times and locations
- Selecting a casket, urn or other items
- Preparing the obituary notice
- Scheduling vehicles
- Selecting pallbearers
- Completing required authorizations
Information to gather
- Full legal name and home address
- Social Security number
- Date and place of birth
- Father’s name and mother’s maiden name
- Highest education and occupation
- Survivors’ names and relationships
- Place of burial, if known
Burial, Cremation and Memorial-Service Choices
Adkins’ official funeral-services guidance explains that both burial and cremation can include a visitation, funeral, memorial service or another gathering. Cremation is a method of final disposition; it does not prevent a family from holding a ceremony.
Review funeral/memorial choices → compare burial and cremation → decide whether a viewing or ceremony is wanted → discuss the preferred location with the funeral director.
Adkins Funeral Prices: How to Get the Current Numbers
The official Adkins “When a Death Occurs” page says the funeral arranger provides the General Price List at the arrangement meeting. The official pages reviewed did not provide a current public dollar-by-dollar GPL that could be safely reproduced here as a 2026 price table.
That means the useful approach is to request the current prices directly rather than relying on an old PDF, cached page or third-party estimate.
| Ask about | Useful question | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| General Price List | “Can you provide the current General Price List and its effective date?” | It lets you compare current itemized funeral goods and services. |
| Basic services | “What is included in the basic services fee?” | This is different from merchandise, cemetery costs and some third-party charges. |
| Burial or cremation | “What are the itemized options for the disposition and ceremony we are considering?” | The family’s choice of ceremony and merchandise changes the total. |
| Outside charges | “Which charges come from a cemetery, clergy, newspaper, florist or another third party?” | Those costs may not be the funeral home’s own service charges. |
Open the official FTC page → review telephone price rights → General Price List rights → casket and outer-burial-container price rules → compare only the services your family needs.

Social Security and Veteran Benefits After a Death
Social Security
SSA says funeral homes generally report deaths to Social Security, so families usually do not need to report a death separately. If the funeral home does not report it, SSA says to call with the deceased person’s name, Social Security number, date of birth and date of death.
Eligible spouses, divorced spouses, children or dependent parents may separately qualify for survivor benefits. A spouse, or in some cases an eligible child, may also qualify for the one-time $255 lump-sum death payment.
SSA: What to Do When Someone DiesVeteran families
Adkins says it can help coordinate documentation and applications involving military honors, Presidential Memorial Certificates and Veteran headstones or markers, and can coordinate with national or state Veterans cemeteries.
Bring discharge documentation such as the Veteran’s DD-214 when available, and use VA’s own website to confirm current federal eligibility and benefit amounts.
