Hello,
There is a proposed regulation being considered to move the remains from the smaller of
two cemeteries at the Nevada State Insane Asylum Cemetery in Sparks, Nevada. The facility
is now known as Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services.
For more information, please visit:

The people who died and were buried in the asylum's cemetery came from everywhere and
many were early California residents. It is important to get the word out that Nevada is
already not adequately cooperating with affected families. There are the families who
will never know about this action.
Please pass this message on to anyone you know who may have "lost" a relative in
Nevada. They may be in the cemetery.
Some burial information has been posted at the following links:
