The Funeral Mountains are 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 crest of the range is within Death Valley National Park. The range is separated from the Grapevine Mountains to the northwest by the narrow Boundary Canyon〔''Beatty, Nevada–California,'' 30x60 Minute Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1986〕 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.〔Death Valley Junction, California Nevada, 30x60 Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1986〕 The broad flats of the Amargosa Desert lie across the border to the northeast in Nevada.〔 The highest point in the range is Pyramid Peak, at 6703 ft (2043 m).〔''East of Echo Canyon, Calif.–Nev.,'' 7.5 Minute Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1987〕 The first movement of Ferde Grofe's ''Death Valley Suite'' is a symphonic musical portrayal of pioneer settlers drudging through the dry craggy peaks of the Funeral Mountains. == References ==
