About Rabenhorst Funeral Home & Crematory

Rabenhorst Funeral Home & Crematory is a full-service funeral home in Baton Rouge operating as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the country — families who prefer locally or family-owned businesses may want to consider that distinction. They offer a full range of services including cremation and traditional burial arrangements, and can accommodate families coordinating services from out of state, though at least one reviewer noted that out-of-state arrangements came with meaningful complications around state-specific requirements. On Google, Rabenhorst holds a 3.7-star rating across 13 reviews, which is a relatively small sample; several families describe staff members — particularly one individual named Mr. Vaughan — as compassionate and attentive to detail, while at least one family reported a deeply negative experience involving poor execution of the service and a lack of follow-up accountability, so experiences here appear to vary.

Worst experience possible. Ruined what could have been a beautiful service, then showed no actual concern or regret for their actions. The before, during, and after funeral process was simply terrible. We are all heartbroken

My family has had several passing family members that were handled at this location. We were very pleased with their professionalism and made us feel like family. They are reasonable and took care of every detail to meet the families needs. When my time comes, this is where I will request to be take…

Our situation ended-up being very complicated due to us being out of state trying to arrange a funeral and not understanding Louisiana laws etc. Add to this the usual combination of grief and suddenly being thrown into making big decisions that affect numerous family members other than our immediate…

Amazing. They were outstanding. Mr Vaughan went above and beyond. Super nice and very compassionate . He handled up on everything and made my mother look so beautiful. It was amazing. If I die, this is who I'd trust to take care of things, and I'd want Mr Vaughan to handle it.

I could not possibly give Rabenhorst less than 5 stars. Calm attention to detail. I think I met everyone there. Every single person was helpful and accomodating. They find a way to accomplish your every wish and always deliver more than is promised.
