Our Story
The Beginning
Rhone Funeral Home was established in 2016 by Ben and Keri Rhone with a simple but meaningful mission: to provide families with the compassionate, personalized care they deserve during life’s most difficult moments. Since opening our doors, we have proudly become the newest and largest funeral home in Anderson County, built on a foundation of faith, integrity, and service.
What began as a dream has become a trusted place where families find comfort, guidance, and genuine care.
The Inspiration
For Ben Rhone, funeral service has always been more than a profession—it has been a calling from God.
As a young man, Ben felt led to serve others during times of loss. After spending many years working in Anderson County at another funeral home, he had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of families. During those years, he listened carefully to their needs, their concerns, and their hopes for honoring their loved ones.
While he was grateful for the experience, he often found himself unable to provide the level of care, flexibility, and personalized service that families desired because of the limitations of working under someone else’s ownership.
With encouragement from his wife, Keri, and a deep faith that God was leading the way, Ben took a leap of faith and opened Rhone Funeral Home. Their vision was clear: create a funeral home where every family is treated like family, where compassion comes before business, and where every life is honored with dignity and respect.
