Rost Funeral Home
Serving Mountain Home Since 2005
As the only funeral home in Elmore County, the staff at Rost Funeral Home work hard to be active members of the Mountain Home community and to be there to take care of families in every way possible when the need arises.
Our funeral home opened in 2005 when Jerry and Janette Rost purchased the business. We’ve continued to grow along with Mountain Home. Jerry’s career began more than fifty years ago in Boise, and along the way, he acquired an 1897 horse-drawn funeral carriage, which we proudly display in our facility.
While the carriage may be an antique, we provide modern services like audio-visual media assistance and live streaming, and we personalize services to fit the needs of families of all backgrounds and religious denominations.
Our team includes professionals who love our area’s natural wonders and share a passion for helping Mountain Home area families through their time of need.

Very much appreciated being able to meet with Rod the day after Mom's death to start the funeral process. He was available by phone when needed. He fixed typing errors or made other changes to documents, including the obituary and pamphlet quickly.
