Private on-site crematory

For families who choose the time-honored tradition of cremation, our full-service funeral home operates its own crematory. This gives Moore Funeral Home complete control of a cremation, start to finish, and means your loved one never leaves our care. You can choose a cremation following a funeral service, a cremation preceding a funeral service or cremation without a service at all. If you wish, cremated remains can be interred at Moore Memorial Gardens.

Moore Memorial Gardens cemetery

Peace and solitude are hallmarks of Moore Memorial Gardens in North Arlington. Although our beautiful property is the final resting place for a number of celebrities, the cemetery is a place for all people, regardless of social, cultural or religious background. It offers many choices for memorialization. Whatever your preference, there is an option that reflects your family’s culture or tradition.

A range of cemetery property options

With sweeping green lawns and complementary landscaping, Moore Memorial Gardens comprises 81 acres with several outdoor mausoleums and gardens with names like Faith, Peace and Devotion. These established areas offer a range of burial options. Each has unique characteristics, such as a graceful statue or water feature. There are 2 veterans gardens, Valor I and Valor II, as well as a cremation garden near the Court of Hope Mausoleum. A cemetery expansion, Crestview Garden, opened in 2019. Ver másVer menos

When Moore Memorial Gardens originally opened, it allowed only flat, bronze-on-granite grave markers. In the mid-’90s, the cemetery established Garden of Pines as an upright monument garden next to the funeral home. In the years since, private estates and private mausoleums have been added. The 2019 addition of the first phase of Serenity Hedge Estates created an area for exclusive family estates with upright memorials and benches in premium granite colors. Each estate is accessible by a paved sidewalk. Ver másVer menos

With sweeping green lawns as far as the eye can see, winding walkways, flowering trees and a pond with a gurgling fountain, the cemetery is an idyllic setting and an invitation to reflect. Though it sits not far from I-30, it feels like a world away. Ver másVer menos

History

A forward-thinking entrepreneur, Hugh M. Moore opened Moore Funeral Home in May of 1910 in downtown Arlington, near where Arlington City Hall stands today. Ver másVer menos

That 1st location, on the corner of Main and Mesquite streets, was in the back of E.E. Smith Furniture and House Furnishings. Eventually the firm grew to include 3 Moore Funeral Home locations, situated like birds on a wire along what was Highway 80, from Handley Drive in east Fort Worth to Belt Line Road in Grand Prairie.

Moore adds 2 cemeteries

In 1922, Hugh established Parkdale Cemetery on South Mary Street in Arlington, adjacent to Arlington Cemetery. After Hugh died in November 1949, his wife and 3 sons—Harry, Howard (Gumpy) and Robert (Bob)—took over managing the business. The Moore family had been in the funeral business more than 40 years when they acquired White Chapel Memorial Gardens in what was then far north Arlington. They renamed the cemetery Moore Memorial Gardens and built a funeral home on its grounds in 1963.

Continued growth

Just like their father, the Moore sons had an eye for opportunity and saw that the growing city of Arlington needed a larger funeral home to serve area families. They opened a new funeral home that is 22,000 square feet in size, located at 1219 North Davis Drive, on the grounds of Moore Memorial Gardens in November 1963. The funeral home still operates from that location today. Ver másVer menos

Thirty-three years later, in 1996, the Moores opened a 10,000-square foot funeral chapel—Moore Bowen Road Funeral Home—to give the people of South Arlington and southeast Tarrant County a more convenient place to plan funerals and cremations.

In 2004, Moore Funeral Home and Moore Memorial Gardens became part of the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest group of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers in North America. Ver másVer menos
