Rhoney Funeral Home, Inc.

Rhoney Funeral Home, Inc. has been a pillar of compassionate care in Niagara Falls, New York, since its founding in 1938. Established by Vincent Rhoney, the funeral home was built on the enduring philosophy of being “Dedicated to Service.” This family-owned and operated business has since grown to serve three communities across Niagara County, with locations in Niagara Falls (1124 Ontario Ave.), Lewiston (901 Cayuga St.), and Sanborn (5893 Hoover Road). The Rhoney family’s legacy of leadership and innovation in the funeral profession is deeply rooted in the region’s history. Vincent’s sons, James V. Rhoney and Michael D. Rhoney, carried on their father’s pioneering spirit. Jim Rhoney introduced several industry firsts that are now standard practice, including the scheduling of designated calling hours (visitation hours) and the use of headlights on vehicles in funeral processions. Their father also played a role in rewriting early New York State funeral directors’ exams, further cementing the family’s commitment to professional excellence.

Today, Rhoney Funeral Home, Inc. offers a full range of services to meet the diverse needs of the families it serves. As both a funeral home and a cremation service provider, they offer traditional burial services, cremation options, and pre-planning arrangements. Their pre-planning resources include a dedicated pre-arrangements form and guidance on having “the talk of a lifetime,” ensuring families can make informed decisions ahead of time. The funeral home also provides specialized support for veterans, including assistance with veterans’ burial flags and headstones, honoring those who served our country. Additional services include pet memorials, grief support resources, and help navigating Social Security benefits. The business is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to assist families in their time of need.
