About Ray & Allen Funeral Service

Ray & Allen Funeral Service is an independently owned funeral home serving the Asheville, NC area, which may appeal to families who prefer working with a locally rooted business rather than a corporate chain. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to handle a range of arrangements, though specific details about offerings such as pre-planning, veterans' services, or on-site facilities were not available for this summary. Direct cremation starts at $1,640, which provides a useful baseline for budget planning, though pricing for traditional burial services was not available to allow for a fuller market comparison. On Google, they hold a 4.8-star rating across 46 reviews, a strong score though based on a relatively modest number of responses, so families may want to seek out additional firsthand accounts when making their decision.
