About

For more than a century, Monte Vista Memorial Park has provided care and service to families in and around Johnson City, Tennessee. The cemetery is among the larger perpetual care cemeteries in the area, which also includes the cities of Elizabethton, Kingsport and Bristol. Together, Monte Vista Memorial Park and Monte Vista Funeral Home add vital convenience and simplicity when planning funeral and burial arrangements, minimizing the stress of planning when you need it most.

Beautifully renovated funeral home

Completely renovated in 2018, Monte Vista Funeral Home is a bright and airy 3,100-square-foot building, providing a sense of calm and comfort for families during this difficult time. From the moment you step inside, you are met with a spacious foyer that combines southern, traditional elegance with modern amenities.

Our chapel and reflection area

Chapel at Monte Vista Funeral Home & Monte Vista Memorial ParkOur extensive renovation included the addition of a stunning nondenominational chapel, complete with a cathedral ceiling and chair seating for up to 120 guests. Stained glass sits at the front of the chapel, providing an abundance of natural light. The chapel includes a state-of-the-art sound system, piano and organ, as well as two 65-inch television screens that can be used to showcase slideshows and digital presentations of your loved one. Visitations typically take place in the chapel.

Directly outside of the chapel is an outdoor reflection area featuring a flowing fountain and bench seating. Families and guests often use this serene space for private reflection and meditation.

Arrangement office and parlor

Our funeral home also offers two options for arrangement offices. The first is a small private room with a conference-style setting. The second option is our parlor, which resembles a living room with comfortable couches, a cozy fireplace and space for up to 20 people.

Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"I felt comfortable with the presentation of fees, the hospitable care and organization that made pre-planning effortless. When my mother did pass, I was treated with compassion and felt that the entire staff did everything they could to make a difficult time easier on the family. I truly have had a positive experience. They didn't mind when I called with questions and my emails and phone calls were answered in a timely manner."

"I highly recommend Monte Vista Funeral Home. My family experienced the best care in our difficult time. Mom pre-planned her arrangements, and at that time was met with warm and compassionate assistance and guidance in making those arrangements. Thank you very much!"

"This was one of the hardest times for my family, but the service was excellent. The Chapel and grounds are beautiful. We didn't feel pressured or rushed, everyone treated us like family and went above and beyond our expectations to make us feel comfortable. Anthony, the Funeral Director, made sure all our needs were met and stayed in contact even after the service to make sure we were happy with everything."
