Welcome to Mountain View

Mountain View is the largest combination funeral home/cemetery/crematory in one location in the Pacific Northwest. We are dedicated to working with each family to help them develop their services however they want them. We can help families arrange everything from a fully traditional church service to a Celebration of Life gathering to a Reminiscence Gathering of friends in someone's home. With two crematory retorts on our cemetery grounds we are equally familiar and comfortable helping you with either burial or cremation.

Mountain View is currently being run by the 4th generation of Thompsons. Cindy Thompson came to Mountain View in 1987 from a career in health care. While working, Cindy went to night school at Pacific Lutheran University where she received her MBA. She received training in all aspects of the company before becoming President in 1996 upon her father's retirement. Cindy is on the board of directors of both the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association and the Washington State Cemetery and Funeral Association. She recently earned her Certified Cemetery and Funeral Executive designation from ICCFA.

Mountain View Funeral Home and Memorial Park currently employs a full time staff of 70 people. This depth in staffing helps us deliver quality service 7 days a week, 24 hours per day without charging overtime for weekend or evening assistance. We are proud of our staff and committed to ongoing education/training so that we can offer you the best practices available in funeral and cemetery services.

As it moves into the future, Mountain View draws on a rich heritage. The Memorial Park was incorporated in 1915 by James Richard Thompson. In 1942 his son J. Arthur Thompson added the funeral home on the cemetery grounds. At the time a revolutionary idea, it was only the second funeral home/cemetery combination started in the United States. In 1956 the third generation of Thompson's, Brewer B. Thompson came to Mountain View. Under his leadership Mountain View continued to grow. A second funeral chapel was built on the grounds, the operation was computerized, the staff grew in size to 68 full time employees, 80 more acres were acquired for the memorial park and the company became debt free.

We are pleased to provide this service to you and the families we serve. The current funerals entrusted to our firm are listed here. If you are unable to visit the Mountain View Funeral Home, Memorial Park & Crematory, you can still be with the family in thought by signing the online guest book, expressing your condolences or share your most memorable recollection about the deceased. You can also place a memorial donation, send a floral tribute or be reminded of the anniversary of a death.
