About
AR Central Mortuary Service, Inc., also known as Arkansas Central Mortuary Service (ACMS), is a dedicated trade mortuary serving funeral homes, hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions across Arkansas and the surrounding states. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, the business operates from two primary locations: 1219 South Bowman Road and 5400 Highway 365 South. With a history spanning over 65 years, ACMS has built a reputation for providing essential mortuary services with the utmost urgency, dignity, and respect.
The company was founded by Vassar Blair in 1958, and its roots extend even earlier to the original formation in 1954. In October 1988, Kenny Adams acquired the firm, and in July 1995, it expanded by acquiring Tri-State Mortuary, the only other competing trade mortuary in Pulaski County at the time. The two operations were consolidated at the Bowman Road facility, creating a centralized hub for comprehensive mortuary support. Today, ACMS continues to honor this legacy by focusing exclusively on serving funeral directors, ensuring that families receive professional and compassionate care through their trusted partner funeral homes.
ACMS offers a full range of trade services, including the removal and transportation of the deceased, embalming, and on-site cremation. The facility is fully equipped to handle all documentation procurement, providing a seamless experience for funeral directors. They operate around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to respond to calls with the sense of urgency that each situation demands. The business emphasizes that it is representing the funeral home, and therefore treats every case with meticulous attention to detail and confidentiality.
The company is also highly accessible, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, as well as on-site parking. It holds a license number 251 and prides itself on using proven products and techniques in mortuary science. ACMS serves not only Arkansas but also extends its removal and transportation services to neighboring states, making it a regional resource for funeral homes in need of reliable trade support.
With a perfect 5-star rating on Google Maps and a strong commitment to quality, AR Central Mortuary Service, Inc. continues to be a cornerstone of the mortuary community. The company understands that every call represents a family in grief, and it strives to provide exceptional service that honors the deceased while supporting the funeral director’s needs. For over six decades, ACMS has been honored to represent hundreds of funeral homes, and it looks forward to continuing that tradition of excellence for years to come.
