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.

With a history spanning more than 120 years, our cemetery property is the final resting place for many area founders, city leaders and notable Tennessee residents.

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.

"In May 2021 we preplanned our funerals. We already had cemetery plots at Monte Vista so thought it would be convenient to have services at the Monte Vista Funeral Home. The Director was so nice and informative. Two months later my husband passed away. I was so glad the funeral had been preplanned. It just went so smoothly. Over my many years I have attended many funerals at different funeral homes and I was so glad we had picked Monte Vista. The Director and Staff were great and worked with us. I would highly recommend this Funeral Home and preplanning arrangements. Thank you."
