Sonoma Funeral Home

Sonoma Funeral Home, located at 47 West First Street in Winnemucca, Nevada, has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century, offering compassionate end-of-life services in the high desert “cowboy country” of Northern Nevada. With a rich history dating back to 1915, the funeral home was originally founded as ‘Eddy Funeral Parlor’ by Edna Eddy, a nurse and mortician who is credited as the first female embalmer in the state of Nevada. The current building, constructed in 1913 by Ed Reinhart as his family home, was purchased by Edna Eddy in 1930 and has remained the city’s only funeral home ever since. Over the years, the business underwent several name changes, including ‘Eddy & Son Funeral Home’, ‘Albertson Funeral Home’ in 1987, and finally ‘Sonoma Funeral Home’ in 2014 when it was acquired by Kevin Stiles and Dan Roberts of Janus Advisors. Today, the funeral home is locally managed by Funeral Director Kailynn Yetter, assisted by Funeral Arranger Ludivina Angeles and Removalist David Baxter. Sonoma Funeral Home serves families throughout Humboldt County, as well as parts of neighboring Lander and Pershing counties, covering approximately 11,650 square miles. The facility is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking, ensuring ease of access for all visitors. Services offered are comprehensive and include funeral arrangements, burial and cremation services, casket and coffin supply, memorial ceremonies, online obituaries, digital memorials, and pre-planning assistance. The staff is dedicated to providing gentle guidance and support during the difficult time of loss, helping families celebrate the lives of their loved ones with personalized tributes. Whether coordinating a traditional burial, a cremation, or creating a lasting digital legacy, Sonoma Funeral Home emphasizes trust, compassion, and professionalism. Their goal is to alleviate stress and pain by handling all logistical and ceremonial details, allowing families to focus on honoring and remembering their loved ones.
