A Long and Distinguished History Walton’s Sierra Chapel of Reno has been a trusted name in funeral service for over 50 years. Originally established in 1951 by Fred S. Kieper and H. Edgar Walton, the funeral home was purchased in 1959 by Edward B. McCaffery, Jr. of Reno. 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 Sierra Chapel of Reno is located on its original sight at Second and Vine, having expanded and remodeled many times through the years evolving into a warm and comfortable home-like environment for our client families. The facility provides families with a spacious chapel and private visitation rooms. A large parking lot is conveniently located on the east of the building. The entire staff at Walton’s Sierra Chapel pride themselves in helping families on a personalized and individual basis, creating for each family a service and celebration of life that is unique to their wants and needs. For over 50 years, we have helped thousands of families through the most difficult times of need – and have done so with compassion, dignity and attention to detail. We do all of this while being sensitive to the financial considerations of each family. We can help each family with all of the elements in coordinating a complete and meaningful tribute to their loved one, including flowers and monuments. We are always available to help families at the time of need or with advanced 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. Walton’s Family of Funeral Homes remains independent and family owned, with Tammy Dermody and Ed McCaffery overseeing daily operations.
