The Funeral Mountains is a short, arid mountain range in the United States along the California-Nevada border approximately 100 mi (160 km) west of Las Vegas.
The mountains are considered a subrange of the Amargosa Range that form the eastern wall of Death Valley.
The range is separated from the Grapevine Mountains to the northwest by the narrow Boundary Canyon[2] and is separated from the Black Mountains by Furnace Creek Wash on the southwest and from the Greenwater Range at the narrow Travertine Point on the south.
[3] The broad flats of the Amargosa Desert lie across the border to the northeast in Nevada.
[4][5] The first movement of Ferde Grofé's Death Valley Suite is a symphonic musical portrayal of pioneer settlers trudging through the dry craggy peaks of the Funeral Mountains.
