A different funeral home, Hamel Funeral Care & Cremation, agreed to help me (in person) and the widow (on phone & e-mail) figure out what was acceptable and doable for the next morning. I truly wish I could post a picture of this urn that Ziegler & Ames had at my door the next morning at 8AM. It was not only engraved with the name, dates, & quotes, but it even had the engraving of a drawing of the soldier done by a local artist. This urn was AMAZING and SPECTACULAR. Even the crematorium said it was the most beautiful urn they ever saw. The widow was overwhelmed when she saw it. But what was even more beautiful than this urn was the gesture that was made by the Ziegler & Ames Co. They charged this family nothing for it. They made this as a gesture of love and respect to a military family that already sacrificed so much. I know I can speak for this family when I say THANK YOU to the Ziegler & Ames Company for that act of kindness. It is people like you that give me great faith in humanity.

With Freedom comes Responsibility. My family and I recently visited the Northern Nevada Adult…read moreMental Health Historic Cemetery. All formally dressed and shoes shined, my family and I were there to solemnly, humbly and reverently pay our respects to our fellow Veterans buried here. Just as we had told our children when they were young, we told the youngsters here with us today that here lie Veterans who gave their today for our tomorrows. Just as we had taught our children, we taught these youngsters to walk not run nor play in any Veterans cemetery for it is sacred and hallowed ground. We taught them to talk low and not shout. Then we taught them to stand still for a moment in silence here, ending the moment of silence with a slow salute. We were there to celebrate that some of those buried here lived and Served, and to Honor that Service. We were there to Honor the Veterans who are buried there who's names are unknown, and Veterans who are buried there who's names are known. Robert Hope, a Nevada Civil War Veteran is the first Veteran buried here, buried March 1889. So is Timothy Burke, a native of Ireland, who Served in the Civil War from Iowa. So is John Balback, a Veteran of Company D of the 4th Division of Illinois Calvary, who had earned a Disability Discharge in 1884. So is Frank Backus, an African-American pioneer of Nevada who Served during the Mexican-American War, who at the age of 118 died here and was buried here. So is Oscar Adolph Kussell, 12th New York Volunteer Infantry, 19th U.S. Infantry, Company B (who Served sometime during circa 1875-1918). The specific grave sites of these American Veterans are now lost forever. We will always remember them. Veterans who Served not because the Veteran hated what was in front of 'em, but because the Veteran loved what was behind 'em that they were guarding. We will never forget them for although we don't know them all, we owe them all; for here are Veterans who Served in America's Armed Forces for Duty, Honor and Country. The beauty of the Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health Historic Cemetery's longevity means that it is a living thing; it deserves to be treated as such. The cemetery is impressive for what it represents. Although subject to miniscule budgets, those working to preserve this history managed to create something memorable and unique. In the late 1800s and early 1900s it was in a very isolated area. Then it was a working farm where the 'inmates' raised animals and grew their own food. Burial procedures were most likely a do-it-yourself operation at the direction of the hospital administrators at that time. January 21, 2011, we were here when The Sons of Union Veterans did a presentation with Taps and Gun Salute to Honor the Veterans buried here. On land owned by State of Nevada, the Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health Historic Cemetery is located one-half mile from the Northern Nevada State Veterans Home. 'There are hundreds of human remains at this cemetery. The current list from the Preservation Office shows just under 600 names, but several years of records are missing. Current estimates have the number around 600 or more. The boundaries of the cemetery extend as far north as the City of Sparks Maintenance Building at the corner of 21st and Frazer, west to the new Agriculture Building, south to North Street and the eastern boundary extended well beyond 21st Street toward Hymer. Record keeping was minimal and grave markers seemed at the whim of administrators of the times. A few graves had markers but most had none." Most markers now lost in time. Like every state in the nation, Nevada wrongly and immorally continues to incarcerate more individuals, including Veterans, with severe mental illness, drug / alcohol addictions, than it hospitalizes. https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/75th2009/Exhibits/Assembly/HH/AHH1105D.pdf https://www.historicreno.org/media/custom/docs/FPv14n2.pdf https://suvcw.org/ https://www.duvcw.org/index.php/departments-tents/states-j-n/nevada

My clothes were to be ready on Tuesday (they're closed on Mondays). I then left to purchase a pair of professional shoes to wear to this upcoming interview. When I got home I realized the heels on the shoes I used to try the pants on at the tailor were one inch higher than the shoes I purchased for the interview. Upon realizing this, I called Amin immediately and requested the pants be shortened one inch. He advised the pants had already been altered, but I should come in on Tuesday (as previously scheduled) and he would assess with the new shoes. He knew my interview was on Thursday, but said he would alter them on the spot while I waitedd if they needed changing. I asked if there would be an additional charge, and he said "no". When I arrived the next Tuesday and tried on the clothes with the new shoes, I found he had already shortened the pants to perfection! Moda Italia gives a 10% discount for seniors and another 10% discount for paying in cash. I do not trust easily and 95% of businesses today deserve this "no trust" reputation. HOWEVER, Moda Italia Tuxedo and Tailoring is not only professional but efficient and reasonably priced for the extraordinary work they provide. I guarantee and wholeheartedly endorse this company if you are anywhere near the Sparks region of Nevada. AND, they are easily accessible to major freeways (not inside a mall)! I live in Fernley, so this is not "just next door", but I definitely will use Moda Italia for all my tailoring needs.

He worked with me right down to the casket. Denise was also involved with the process, and she helped move things right along. The La Paloma family was great, and I'm so glad I didn't just go with Walton's funeral home. I know in my heart my brother and our wishes were respected here.

La Paloma is such a refreshing find in the world of Funeral Services. You can trust them. Period…read more Dustin's knowledge at La Paloma is only overshadowed by his empathy. Plus, his prices are fair and honest -- and he never tries to up-sell you. I recently worked with Dustin to pre-plan my mom's final wishes. She's 88-yrs-old and isn't planning on leaving this world anytime soon... but she's a planner! So when mom told me she didn't want to burden her family with determining (and having to pay for) her final arrangements after she passes, I gave Dustin a call to set up a meeting. Dustin was awesome! On his suggestion, we met at mom's home to discuss options and complete the paperwork. This was a nice option vs. going to the Funeral Home, which might've been a little more "jarring" or disturbing to mom. Dustin spent time getting to know mom before we got down to the business at hand, and by the time we were through, mom felt like she'd made a new friend. She now has the peace-of-mind that her daughters won't have an additional burden placed on them after her passing. As for me, I'm relieved that mom's wishes are now officially documented which will undoubtedly cause less tension between me and my siblings when dealing with mom's final arrangements -- there can be no argument about what her final wishes were, as they are well documented and pre-paid for at a time when she was of sound mind and body. Oh... almost forgot the best part: because of mom's pre-planning, today's cremation rates apply no matter how much those costs may go up between now and the time she eventually leaves this world. That provides additional peace of mind for all involved. Whether you're in the unfortunate situation of having to make arrangements for someone in your life who recently passed, or, if you're like my mom and you simply want to pre-plan to make life easier for your loved ones after you pass, I highly recommend you call Dustin at La Paloma. You won't regret it.

As an expectant mother or father…read morecontemplating making an adoption plan for their child, there are so many unknowns and things to consider. As an adoptive parent looking to build a family, there is fear and insecurity and lots of unknowns. Enter Adoption Choices of Nevada. We started working with them for an adoption of a second child for our family. They were so friendly and helpful. They were excited and informative of the entire process. We immediately were presented to an expectant mother and father who ultimately selected us. Here is what happened. We fell in love with our son's parents. We live on the East Coast and even though this wasn't our first adoption, it was our first time traveling across the Country to adopt. They were so helpful getting us to Reno and setting expectations on the process with ICPC. The agency and our adoption case worker, Lainie was available at all hours and facilitated as many contacts as requested so we could get to know one another. After all, they were considering placing their baby in our home. A call came in the middle of the night that our son was on his way. We immediately flew out to meet him. We stayed and roomed in with the baby (Bio Family's Request) and bonded together until and after discharge. The agency made sure to help our son's bio family getting them settled with a place to stay and I'll say this. Even after the paperwork was signed. The agency didn't lose interest with them and neither did we. This was our son's family. The agency guided us in the legal ways we could still assist them. Lainie did this because of her big heart. She connect with her clients and adoptive families. I'll leave with you this no matter where you are on your journey with adoption. The journey is filled with fear which can seem a mile high and mile wide but in fact; it is only paper thin. Once you step through that fear and ask for what you need whether you're an expectant parent or an adoptive parent, there is room for much love and greater understanding on the other side. Our family is richer because we have BOTH our son's biological families in our lives. Our boys will grow up with an abundance of love. Lainie and the staff at Adoption Choices of Nevada helped make that possible. I highly recommend using them.

She just went above and beyond to give us all the information possible. We were able to confidently go into the situation feeling comfortable because of her. When she called to let us know that we were chosen she was just as helpful. She gave information about hotels and places in the area. Wonderful! When we went to the agency all the women were so nice. They took pictures for us and they were feeling all of our emotions with us. They made the adoption process smoother than any I've even heard of and kept in contact afterwards. I knew every step of the ICPC progress. Faith even called me because she was too excited to wait for an email reply. She told me of all kinds of wonderful places for pictures in our baby boys birth place. I just can't say enough about this agency. We felt comfortable from the start in a very unnatural situation. They were also amazing with our sons birth family.
