Transfer Your Arrangements
to Rhone Funeral Home
If you have a prepaid plan elsewhere, or simply want to choose us, you are not locked in. We make transferring your arrangements simple.
Many people do not realize they have the freedom to choose their funeral home, even if they planned ahead somewhere else. At Rhone Funeral Home in Palestine, TX, we welcome families who wish to transfer an existing prearrangement to us, including plans made in another state. We will review what you have, explain your options, and handle the transfer with care. Call (903) 729-5001 to learn how easy it can be.
You Are Not Locked In
If you prepaid your funeral with another provider, that plan is not set in stone. Families transfer prearrangements for many reasons, such as moving to the area, a change in ownership at their original funeral home, or simply a desire to work with a funeral home they trust more. Whatever your reason, you have the right to choose, and we are honored when families choose us.
We Accept Transfers, Including Out-of-State Plans
Rhone Funeral Home accepts transfers of existing prearrangements, including plans made out of state. If you or a loved one planned ahead elsewhere and would like that plan carried out by us, we can help. We will work with you to bring your arrangements into our care, so your wishes are honored by people you trust.
How a Transfer Works
Transferring a plan is simpler than most people expect. Here is what to expect:
- Bring us what you have. Share your existing contract or plan documents, and we will review them with you.
- We explain your options. We will tell you clearly what transfers, what it covers, and anything to be aware of.
- We handle the details. We coordinate the transfer and the paperwork, so the process is smooth and stress-free.
At every step, we will keep things clear and never pressure you.
Choosing Us in a Time of Need
You also have the right to choose your funeral home at the time of a loss, even if a loved one is already in another funeral home’s care. If your family is not comfortable where you are, or simply wishes to be with a funeral home you trust, you can ask to transfer your loved one to us. We will handle the transfer respectfully and guide you through every step.
