The Rhoney family began their tradition of servicing the needs of families in Niagara Falls, in 1938, with the philosophy, "Dedicated to Service". Vincent Rhoney, the father of James V. Rhoney and Michael D. Rhoney, founded the funeral home in 1938. Jim Rhoney initiated numerous firsts in the local funeral profession, including the first funeral to schedule calling hours or visitation hours and the first to utilize head lights on cars in funeral processions, among other initiatives that we find common place today.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.

My mother passed away unexpectedly and I was so lost on the process of “What’s next?”. I started down the list of funeral homes to get information and Rhoney was first... After speaking with Robert I didn’t need to call anyone else! He laid out everything for me, gave me clear direction and was so efficient!! He faxed certain paperwork, got information from places that I needed to save me the hassle, got the obituary together and was so communicative during the whole process. In 2 days, everything was done. This is my first experience having to deal with the arrangements after a death and

I don't know if anyone actually says, "Grandma died, we need a funeral home. I'll go check Yelp." But...if anyone does, here you go.
My sister was faced with the sad task of making our elderly aunt's funeral arrangements. When my aunt's friend passed away several years ago, the arrangements were through Rhoney, and my aunt was impressed enough that she told us to use Rhoney when it was her time. So, my sister did.
The staff was helpful, compassionate, not overbearing or obtrusive. I know funerals are expensive, but I feel that the prices were fair. If you have
