About
Moore Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, located at 1219 North Davis Drive in Arlington, Texas, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care for the Arlington community for over a century. Founded by forward-thinking entrepreneur Hugh M. Moore in May 1910, the business originally opened in the back of a furniture store downtown near Main and Mesquite Streets. Over the decades, the Moore family expanded operations, adding Parkdale Cemetery in 1922 and later acquiring White Chapel Memorial Gardens in far north Arlington, which was renamed Moore Memorial Gardens. In November 1963, the family opened the current 22,000-square-foot funeral home on the grounds of the memorial gardens, a facility that continues to serve families today. In 1996, a second location, Moore Bowen Road Funeral Home, was established to serve south Arlington and southeast Tarrant County. In 2004, Moore Funeral Home and Moore Memorial Gardens joined the Dignity Memorial network, the largest provider of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services in North America, while maintaining their longstanding commitment to personalized, family-centered care.
As a full-service funeral home, cemetery, and cremation provider, Moore Funeral Home offers a wide range of services to meet diverse needs. The spacious red-brick facility features a large funeral chapel that seats up to 250 guests and a smaller chapel specially designed for communities that burn incense, equipped with a dedicated ventilation system. Large visitation rooms include the latest audio/visual equipment, allowing families to create multimedia presentations from photographs and videos. Three reception areas can accommodate catered events ranging from cupcake bars to sit-down dinners, with food and drinks provided on-site. The funeral home operates its own private crematory, giving families complete control over the cremation process and ensuring loved ones never leave the care of the staff. Burial options are available at Moore Memorial Gardens, an 81-acre cemetery with sweeping green lawns, winding walkways, flowering trees, and a pond with a fountain. The cemetery offers a variety of burial choices, including outdoor mausoleums, gardens named Faith, Peace, and Devotion, two veterans gardens (Valor I and Valor II), a cremation garden, private estates, and private mausoleums. The recent expansion, Crestview Garden, opened in 2019, and Serenity Hedge Estates provides exclusive family estates with upright memorials.
Moore Funeral Home is known for its deep commitment to serving the diverse Arlington community. Approximately one in five funeral services performed is for members of the Vietnamese community, and the team includes Vietnamese-speaking staff experienced with both Catholic and Buddhist rituals. The funeral home also features a comfort dog named Honey, a gentle golden doodle who offers quiet companionship to grieving families during arrangements and visitations. Annual community events, including a Mother's Day service, a Memorial Day celebration, and a candlelight evening of remembrance in December, help families continue to honor their loved ones. With a 4.5-star rating on Google and over 600 reviews, generations of families have trusted Moore Funeral Home to provide meaningful, compassionate care that celebrates each unique life.
