Rhoney Funeral Home, Inc.

Rhoney Funeral Home, Inc., located at 901 Cayuga Street in Lewiston, New York, is a trusted provider of compassionate funeral services deeply rooted in a tradition of excellence that spans over eight decades. Founded in 1938 by Vincent Rhoney in nearby Niagara Falls, the funeral home was built on the enduring philosophy of being “Dedicated to Service.” This commitment has been carried forward by subsequent generations, including Vincent’s sons, James V. Rhoney and Michael D. Rhoney, who upheld the family’s leadership in the funeral profession. Under their guidance, the Rhoney family introduced several pioneering practices that have since become standard in the industry, such as the first scheduled calling hours (visitation hours) and the first use of headlights on funeral procession vehicles. Their father, Vincent, was also instrumental in the rewriting of early New York State funeral directors’ examinations, further solidifying the family’s legacy of innovation and professionalism.

Today, Rhoney Funeral Home, Inc. proudly serves families across three convenient locations in Western New York: the original Niagara Falls facility at 1124 Ontario Avenue, the Lewiston location at 901 Cayuga Street, and the Sanborn location at 5893 Hoover Road.
