We are rated 4.9 stars by local families, accredited A+ with the Better Business Bureau, and proud to be voted Best of Reader’s Choice 2026. Here is why families across our community trust us with their goodbyes. Call (903) 729-5001 any time.
Owned and Operated by the Rhone Family
Rhone Funeral Home is not a corporate chain. It is a first generation, family owned funeral home led by Ben Rhone, a licensed funeral director and embalmer. When you call, you reach the people whose name is on the door, and Ben and his team handle your arrangements personally, from the first call to the final goodbye.
A Place Built for Families
Ours is one of the largest, most modern funeral homes in the area. Our main chapel seats about 240, the Rhone Reflection Room welcomes families for receptions, and our grounds include parking for about 200 cars, all wheelchair accessible. Whether your gathering is small or large, there is room to grieve, remember, and come together with comfort and dignity.
Honest, Upfront Pricing
We believe you deserve to know what to expect. We publish our starting prices, provide a clear General Price List, and never pressure you to spend more than you planned. Direct cremation starts at $3,200 and traditional funerals at $6,370, and we will always show you the full cost in writing. See our pricing page for details.
Care That Includes Your Family
At Rhone Funeral Home, you are welcome to take part in caring for your loved one, in the ways that matter to you. Female staff can care for a female loved one on request, and our experienced team handles every detail with gentleness and respect. We treat your loved one the way we would treat our own.
Available 24 Hours a Day
Loss does not keep business hours, and neither do we. A real person answers our phone any hour of the day or night, so help is always one call away. From the first moment, we are here to guide you and take the weight off your shoulders.
Support for Every Family
We serve families of every faith, culture, and background, with English and Spanish speaking staff and full support for many religious and cultural traditions. We offer complete veteran services, and our Healing Hearts grief group and year-long aftercare are here long after the service ends.
Trusted in Our Community
Families across East Texas rate us 4.9 stars, and we are accredited A+ with the Better Business Bureau and voted Best of Reader’s Choice 2026. We give back through programs like Wreaths Across America, a Flag Retirement ceremony, and Stockings for Soldiers. This is our home, and these are our neighbors.
When you choose Rhone Funeral Home, you choose a family that will treat yours with honesty, patience, and genuine care. We would be honored to help you, whether you need us today or simply want to plan ahead. Call (903) 729-5001 to talk with our family.
