Pinecrest Funeral Home

Pinecrest Funeral Home, located at 7401 Highway 5 North in Alexander, Arkansas, serves as a cornerstone of compassionate care and dignified memorialization for the central Arkansas community. Founded in 1929 by John C. Thomas Sr., this historic establishment emerged shortly after the stock market crash and the onset of the Great Depression. Originally a dairy farm, the property now encompasses Pinecrest Memorial Park, a sprawling 220-acre cemetery that stands as a peaceful haven for remembrance. The funeral home and memorial park are proud members of the Dignity Memorial network, ensuring exceptional service, integrity, and respect for every family they serve.

Pinecrest Funeral Home occupies a beautiful 14,000-square-foot facility designed to accommodate a wide range of services. Beyond traditional funerals, the multipurpose spaces include a reunion room, reception hall, and an outdoor kitchen and patio, enabling families to celebrate life in personalized ways. The staff specializes in creating unique memorials — from dove releases and live music to catering local favorites like barbecue. Additional offerings include a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, free on-site parking, and prepayment plans to ease financial burdens.

The adjacent Pinecrest Memorial Park cemetery offers a serene final resting place with gently rolling lawns, winding pathways, diverse tree species, a small pond, and abundant wildlife. It features 22 distinct gardens, including lawn crypts, mausoleums, a family estate garden, cremation gardens, and hand-carved sculptures imported from Carrara, Italy. The cemetery is non-denominational, welcoming individuals of all faiths and backgrounds. A dedicated Veterans Field of Honor honors U.S. armed forces members with two specialized gardens and a statue representing the four branches of service. American flags are displayed during veteran services and on national holidays.

Pinecrest provides comprehensive services including burial, cremation, and onsite chapel facilities. The compassionate team is available 24/7 and encourages pre-planning to protect loved ones and lock in savings. With a 100% service guarantee and a commitment to personalized care, Pinecrest Funeral Home and Memorial Park stands as a trusted provider for families seeking meaningful farewells in a tranquil, natural setting.
