Our brother passed suddenly late last year. My other brother and I live in the eastern part of the country. I had to make arrangements and gather information long distance before flying to Nevada. Walton Funeral Home was very accommodating and helpful making arrangements. Carlen was very informative and helpful. She answered questions, gave us directions, and advise that made this process much less difficult. Thank you to Walton for excellent service and being very personal and helpful.

In this moment of sadness, losing our 91 year old mom, Marie at Fitzhenry's was so kind and compassionate. She went above and beyond to help us get through this time. Making arrangements was a difficult process, but Marie made it so much easier with her caring ways. She genuinely loves to help people and shows love in every aspect of job. She was comforting, patient, kind and wanted to help us in every way to give us the piece of mind that our beloved mom was going to be taken care of with respect and dignity. I truly appreciate the extra time she took to help us in this time of sorrow. I would highly recommend Fitzhenry's to anyone that must go through this process. With Much Gratitude, Lori Wetzel

I cannot recommend Lyle Meyer, the funeral director of NFS in Carson City enough. When my husband died before Christmas this year and had no plan at hand, I was clueless and when referred to NFS by his hospice nurses, I felt totally supported and cared for dealing with Mr. Meyer. He is respectful and patient and so encouraging, explaining the burial process I recommend NFS to anyone needing this service. You are treated as a people who is in shock or grief and not as a person to make money off of in a terrible time.

I cared for my father the last 2.5 years of his life. Lyle at Nevada Funeral Services was there throughout the whole journey to answer questions, on the phone or in person whenever we were planning. The night of my fathers passing, they were so understanding and professional.
