We waited 6 weeks for the 6 death certificates we paid for and when they came they had the wrong date she died. I realize they asked my husband to review, but he just lost his mom, he didn't even realize the date she died was wrong. He didn't type it though... I immediately called Michelle to let her know. She said she would have them corrected. As of today 7/22/26, we still have not received them with the correct date! Each time Jim calls, it's excuse after excuse. At this point I want 1 correct DC, and the money we paid for the extra. I sent an email last week with no response. Jim has been waiting for call backs and crickets!

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 is Carson City's main cemetery out of four other historic sites in the area and the largest…read more Here you can find some historic names, and sites of founding fathers of the city. 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.

Before heading back to the Bay Area today, Gayle and I took a walk in and around the Genoa…read moreCemetery. We also brought along the dog and the kid as we explored this most interesting place that dates back to the original founding of the old Mormon Station. Snowshoe Thompson is buried here, as are many of Gayle's beloved relatives. My first experience in a cemetery was when my mother used to air me out on top of a tombstone when I was a baby. Since then, I can't say that really a "Fan" of any of these places. However, when you consider this cemetery's community history, the various families represented, accents such as animal and religious sculptures, and the way that individual plots are cherished and maintained, it's all very fascinating and educational. However, I could have done without my son's retelling of the Jonah Hex movie during our stroll, and opining about his preference for a marble tombstone some day in the far future. The Genoa Cemetery also offers a scenic view to the valley below and the mountains above, and a sense of calm for this final resting place. There are also separate Masonic and other sections, and it's easy to walk around at a respectful pace and path.

While Genoa is mostly known for that fact and the museum in town, the cemetery is another piece of history that's worth a stop. In it you will find the tomb of "Snowshoe" Thompson, who was famous for delivering the mail in the Sierras. There are a number of old memorials in the cemetery. I found the grave for David Walley, for which the resort we're staying at down the road is named. This is an easy stop, you can actually drive through the cemetery to get to Snowshoe's tomb. There are nice views of the valley below, and it is a peaceful spot. Lots of interesting photo ops for you photogs out there.

Talk about an amazing team to work with during the most difficult and painful time of your life. When we lost my dad unexpectedly in April, East Side Memorial was very accommodating, very respectful with how they not only spoke with my family and me, but also with how they treated my father, down to the clothes he wore and even how they styled his hair for his viewing. He looked so peaceful, which brought us so much comfort when we said our last goodbyes. And what a view my father had from the viewing room! Picture windows that showed off the mountains that he loved so much. Bob also eased any fears and answered all questions we had surrounding the nature of my dad's passing, and it really highlighted on his extensive experience in this field. I seriously can't speak enough to how incredible this team and this place was. Thank you, East Side Memorial, for taking tremendous care of us.

The historical Mottsville Cemetery matches much of the history of the pioneer history of the Carson…read moreValley.  This Cemetery is hidden in plain sight and can be found by taking the first left (after the rusted out truck) after coming down the Kingsbury Grade. Follow Old Foothill for several blocks and soon you can't miss it on the left. Park your car, open the pedestrian gate and have a walk around like I did. I found a solitary and meandering stroll to be best as I silently made out names, dates, and possibly circumstances. The sandy Mottsville Cemetery sits in the Sierra foothills with dozens of old year-old wind-beaten trees shading the graveyard floor.  Many family stories lie beneath those branches, with grave markers going back to the mid-1800s.  Some graves are marked and some are not, which in the later case makes you wonder. While looking at the markers, old family names show up: Lampe, Brockliss, Van Sickle, Biaggi, Dressler, and more.  Intertwined relationships at one time earned this area the name of "Cousins Valley" of which branches of these families exist here today.  There was once a Mottsville town in this area, which was named after settler Hiram Mott and was founded along the Emigrant Trail around the same time as nearby Genoa. It was one of the stops along the trail to the California Gold Fields and maybe Virginia City in the other direction.  The cemetery itself was established around 1854 when a Mott family member died as a child.  The Mottsville Cemetery Association maintains the grounds and coordinates any burials. They also sponsor clean-up days, as weeds and pine needles are part of the landscape here. Local residents (for example, Laurie Hickey) occasionally offer tours, which really brings the history of the cemetery and their families to life.  You may also see flags placed on the graves of veterans who served their country on our behalf.
