Headstones, Monuments, and Markers
A lasting tribute, designed with you. Rhone Funeral Home has partnered with Austin Memorial to help your family create a memorial that endures.
A monument is a lasting way to honor a loved one and give family a place to return to for years to come. We can help you design, order, and install a headstone, monument, or marker, all in one place. From the wording to the final installation, we guide you with patience and care. Call (903) 729-5001 to start designing a tribute.
A Memorial Designed With You
Because we work closely with our monument partner, Austin Memorial, you work directly with people who know you and your family. We will help you choose a memorial that reflects your loved one, decide on the wording and any images or symbols, and make sure every detail is right. There is no rush and no pressure, only thoughtful guidance toward a tribute you will be proud of.
Types of Memorials
We offer a range of memorials to suit any cemetery and any family:
- Upright monuments. Classic standing granite memorials, often chosen for a prominent, lasting tribute.
- Flat markers. Ground-level granite or bronze markers, a simple and dignified choice accepted by most cemeteries.
- Companion memorials. Designed for couples or family members to rest side by side.
- Custom designs. Special shapes, engravings, images, and personal touches that tell your loved one’s story.
Choosing the Right Memorial
Choosing a memorial can feel daunting, so we make it simple. We will talk through your loved one’s personality, your budget, and any rules at the cemetery where they will rest, then help you find a memorial that fits all three. There is no wrong choice, only the one that feels right to your family.
How It Works
We make the process simple from start to finish. We help you select the memorial and material, finalize the wording and design, and handle the order with the manufacturer. When it is ready, we coordinate the installation and work with the cemetery to make sure every requirement is met. You are kept informed at every step.
Government Markers for Veterans
Eligible veterans can receive a government-issued headstone or marker at no cost, and we help veteran families apply for and order it, then coordinate its installation. If you prefer a private monument, we can provide that as well. Either way, we make sure your veteran is honored in stone. See our veteran and military honors page for more.
Why Families Choose Our Monument Service
Many funeral homes send families elsewhere for a monument. We do not. Through our partnership with Austin Memorial, you have one trusted team for the entire journey, from the service to the marker that remains. It is simpler for your family, and it means the people who cared for your loved one also help create their lasting tribute.
We Are Here Later, Too
Our help does not end at installation. We can add an inscription after a second loss, answer questions about caring for an existing monument, or assist with a future memorial. Whenever your family needs us, you are always welcome to come back.
