A Family’s Legacy of Service
Northern Nevada Memorial Cremation and Burial Society has served thousands of families in the Reno and Sparks area over the years. Northern Nevada Memorial Society is owned and operated by Edward B. McCaffery, Jr. and his daughter, Tammy Dermody both of Reno. Mr. McCaffery began his legacy of funeral service to the community in 1959, with his daughter joining the family business in 1986.

Ed and Tammy’s vision of funeral service excellence has led to the expansion into other communities in Nevada and California through the construction and acquisition of new facilities, creating what has come to be known as the “Walton’s Family of Funeral Homes”.

Northern Nevada Memorial Society is a warm and comfortable home-like environment and offers families convenience, economy and quality service. The business has recently relocated to a beautiful rural setting and plans are underway to expand the facility to include a Cremation Garden and Conservatory. The master plan for Northern Nevada Memorial Society incorporates the grounds surrounding the building to be designed into a beautiful Cremation Garden and Conservatory set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. This Cremation Garden and Conservatory, the first of its kind in Northern Nevada, will be an environmentally-integrated park, combining the natural elements of the Sierras to create a peaceful and dignified place of remembrance. The coordinated landscape of rocks, trees, water, park benches, niches, columbariums and other features will give families a multitude of ways in which to individually and uniquely remember their loved-one.

Continuing the Tradition of Service Excellence
Following decades of growth by building a reputation for providing services of dignity and respect, Walton's Family of Funeral Homes now operate twelve funeral facilities, a cemetery, five crematories and mausoleums. These facilities serve the communities of Reno, Sparks, Carson City and Minden, Nevada and Susanville, California. Walton's Family of Funeral Homes remains independent and family-owned, with Tammy Dermody and Ed McCaffery overseeing daily operations.

Our Promise To You

Walton’s Family of Funeral Homes is committed to taking care of our community of families, “When You Need Us The Most.” Today’s culture has seen a dramatic decline in personal customer service and respect. Rather than accept and imitate what is sadly happening in so many businesses today, I am determined to achieve this we will provide the best in services, facilities and merchandise and create the most meaningful ceremonies for each and every family we are honored to serve. I am determined to this while ensuring that our prices remain affordable. We have always believed that families, regardless of faith, social standing or circumstances, deserve unwavering respect and dignity. It is this core belief of my family that has earned Walton’s Family of Funeral Homes its reputation.

We are focused on providing quality and value, knowing that the best way to build our reputation and our business for tomorrow is to take exceptional care of the families we serve today.

Owner
