Many of the dates on the stones are quite close together - Living in the west in the 1800s did not contribute to extended life expectancies. The majority of people buried here were miners in the Comstock Lode and their family members. Headstones date back to the 1880s. There are technically eleven cemeteries here that were established by Catholics, Masons and other religious* and fraternal groups. Over time, they've sort of merged and are now known as the Silver Terrace Cemeteries. Back in the day, it was once described as the "loveliest burial grounds in the State of Nevada" but times have changed and decay has been rampant. The ground is extremely uneven. It's sandy, rocky and not level. There is a lot of overgrowth and broken cement. There are paths to walk along but you need to be on the lookout for wildlife. I would not recommend open toed shoes and consider boots if possible. It is not handicapped accessible.

There is serious erosion going on here, especially of the older stones. Some of these go back to the Civil War. Certainly as far back as the first settlers. My husband's family came from here, as well as other places. There are quite a lot of family members buried here. The first time we came here was on our honeymoon to Lake Tahoe, about an hour's drive away. We came over the mountains on a day trip. Since my father was into family genealogy it was natural for me to take an interest in his ancestors. We even got to go inside the little house his great grandfather lived in and his grandfather was born in. It's a gift shop now. A few years ago his brother arranged for some of the headstones to be shored up and reinforced where they were in danger of falling over and becoming unreadable. That is what is happening to the older headstones due to the harsh weather both in the summer and winter. You can't really put live flowers here because they would die too fast so everything is all plastic and phony and sun-faded. Personally I prefer a cemetery that is green with grass and trees and flowers. Oh yeah, thre view of the mountains is pretty spectacular.

This cemetery has a rustic and slightly neglected feel to it. Graves are not maintained by staff, are left to deteriorate and crumble; at least for the older areas. There are a few trees, but not much in the way of landscaping. It is wonderful to walk the large grounds and see the range from pioneers to modern residents, special areas for those who fought for our country, and memorials peppered throughout the grounds. I did not visit the office, nor have I for any previous visit, so I am not sure about staff or if you are able to make arrangements on-grounds.

Having relied on their services for more than 30 years, I have experienced firsthand the profound care they provide. While the occasions that bring us together are inevitably marked by loss, it is a true blessing to have such a dedicated team to help us bid farewell to loved ones, whether they are from our immediate circle or further afield. The team embodies a rare combination of cordiality, professionalism, and perhaps most importantly deeply felt empathy. They operate with total transparency, laying out every available option with such clarity that there is never any ambiguity or "grey area" during an already overwhelming time. No matter the nature of the request or the specific religious or secular traditions involved, they go above and beyond to accommodate every wish with the utmost respect.

I received a "survey" letter from Walton's with an offer of a free gift to complete their survey. I feel the timing, and the wording was horrible and ghoulish. I don't see any value to this marketing ploy. Walton's has survived by word of mouth and having been a staple in the community to help the bereaved through the process. This survey seems lowly for Walton's to do. Especially during the holiday season. Capitalizing on the death of loved ones during the holiday season, while pretentiously offering a free gift, while gathering data. Shameful.
