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.

Rost funeral home Definitely has a 5+ star rating from me. Seonalynn was very caring, thorough, and pretty much handled everything for me she was passionate and make sure everything was just as it should be. She went above and beyond I feel and it was very much appreciated. Julie and the rest of the staff were great. Also, it was a very sad moment for me and my family and the staff here did everything they could to help I was at a loss and had no idea what I was even doing it first and thanks to funeral home. My aunt was taking care of and everything went just as she would have liked it too thank you very much. I definitely recommend them.
