A Long and Distinguished History
Soon after a tragic plane crash affected the community of Carson City,
ground breaking for Walton’s Chapel of the Valley began in 1965
by Edward B. McCaffery, Jr., who felt that Carson Valley residents
were not being properly served during their times of need. Along with
the funeral home, Walton’s Carson Gardens Cemetery was constructed
on the grounds, offering families the convenience and comfort of making
all arrangements for funeral services, merchandise, flowers and memorial
property in one location.
Since
1959, Ed McCaffery’s vision of funeral service excellence
has led to his expansion into other communities in Nevada and California
through the construction and acquisition of new facilities. In 1986,
Mr. McCaffery’s daughter, Tammy Dermody joined with him to
continue this vision, creating what has come to be known as the
“Walton’s Family of Funeral Homes”.
Walton’s
Chapel of Valley is Carson Valley’s ONLY all-inclusive funeral
home and cemetery combination, affording families the convenience,
economy and safety of providing all elements necessary to create
a complete, coordinated and meaningful tribute for your loved one.
We offer a spacious and comfortable chapel and private visitation
rooms. A large parking lot is conveniently located on the south
side of the funeral home. Walton’s Chapel of the Valley Funeral
Home and Walton’s Carson Gardens Cemetery in Carson City is
undergoing an extensive expansion that will include a Cremation
Garden and Conservatory. This beautiful garden and conservatory
will be the only one of its kind in the Carson Valley area, offering
families unique memorial property to permanently place the cremated
remains of their loved ones. Its natural, serene landscape will
provide a peaceful setting for remembrance and reflection. There
will also be the addition of more ground-burial sites and the construction
of new mausoleums and a Cemetery Chapel. Our professional staff
at Walton’s Chapel of the Valley consider themselves not just
Funeral Directors, but Event Planners. They have helped thousands
of families through the most difficult times of need and it is our
mission to help each family create a meaningful tribute to their
loved-one. We offer all of the elements necessary to create a complete
and coordinated service, including flowers and monuments. We are
always available to assist families at the time of need or with
pre-planning.
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.
Waltons Family of Funeral Homes remains independent
and family owned, with Tammy Dermody and Ed McCaffery overseeing
daily operations.
