I am not a novice at purchasing cremation for my loved ones. Still, I was pleasantly surprised at…read morethe efficiency with which Denise handled the paperwork. I learned that companies that only do cremation are much less expensive than companies that offer both cremation and burial (the savings was several thousand dollars). I was also given the opportunity to gather photos, letters and mementos and have them included with my loved one. When delivering the package a few days later, I missed the office closing by 15 minutes. I called the answering service and was pretty distraught. Even though it was 'just an answering service', they told me not to worry, hold the line and they would figure something out. Within 10 minutes Denise came back to the office and collected the package. I was so relieved and impressed with her care and concern. Collecting the cremains and death certificates was yet another time to connect with her warmth, care, and wishes for my wellbeing. Cannot recommend this service, location, and Denise any higher.

I asked for minimal, and there was no upselling. They later received the ashes before the death certificates and called to ask if I wanted them to ship the ashes immediately and send the certificates later. We're only talking a couple of days so I told them just to ship everything at once. They considerately thought I might be in a big hurry to get the ashes and went to the trouble to call and offer separate shipments. In my time of need I was lucky to find Affinity and can highly recommend.

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.

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
