A Family Tradition

Walton’s Sparks Funeral Home was founded in 1972 by Edward B. McCaffery, Jr., Mr. McCaffery, who had previously acquired and built other funeral homes in the area since 1962, believed that the growing community of Sparks would benefit from a new funeral home that provided superior service.

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 Sparks Funeral Home is warm and comfortable with a spacious chapel and private visitation rooms. A large parking lot is conveniently located on the west and south side of the property. Our professional staff at Walton’s Sparks Funeral Home has helped generations of families through their most difficult times of need. Our mission is to help each and every family we are honored to serve 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. Working with our experienced staff all details of the service can be handled from the convenience of our funeral home. We are always available to assist families at the time of need of 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.
