Serving Arlington Families from West Tennessee
Peebles Funeral Home has been family-owned since 1884, and owners Michael and Jennifer Tilghman continue the tradition of personal, community-rooted service that has defined Peebles for generations. Peebles serves families throughout the greater Memphis area and surrounding communities, including Arlington. The Peebles West Funeral Chapel and Cremation Center in Oakland sits along U.S. Highway 64, making it accessible for families coming from Arlington and the eastern Shelby County communities.
Arlington, Tennessee has grown into one of Shelby County's most established communities. When its families need funeral or cremation services, they deserve the same personal attention a family-owned funeral home has provided West Tennessee families for over a century. When you call Peebles, you are connected with a licensed funeral director or embalmer, not a call center. Our team is specifically called to serve families in their time of need, and we handle every detail with dignity, respect, and attention to your family's specific wishes.
Traditional Funeral Services
Peebles offers traditional burial services for Arlington families who wish to gather together, hold a formal ceremony, and bury their loved one according to their family's traditions.
Visitation
The visitation gives family and friends dedicated time to gather, share quiet moments, and offer support. Peebles personalizes the experience with tribute videos, photographs, or personal items meaningful to your loved one. Our team works with your family to design the gathering from start to finish.
Funeral Service
The funeral service can be held in the Peebles chapel or at a location your family chooses, including a church or other venue. Peebles works with families to incorporate stories, music, and scripture. Life celebrants are available for services where clergy is not chosen; they are trained in creating experiences that support healing and remembrance.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is held at the cemetery, either immediately following the funeral or as a small, intimate gathering for those closest to your family. Peebles handles all logistics and coordinates with the cemetery on your behalf.
Veterans Services
When a veteran's family selects a traditional funeral or memorial service at Peebles, the following are included at no additional charge: coordination of Military Honors at the chapel, another facility, or the cemetery; one hand pressed U.S. Flag; one premium wood flag case with a choice of available wood types; and one 6-inch U.S. Armed Forces Embroidered Emblem. These are provided at no charge because, as Peebles states in their General Price List, our veterans have already paid the price.
Cremation Services for Arlington Families
Peebles offers several cremation service options, from a full funeral ceremony before cremation to simple direct cremation. Each option can be personalized to reflect your loved one and your family's wishes.
Traditional Funeral Followed by Cremation
The Community Gathering combines a complete visitation and funeral service with cremation. A cremation casket is selected, the service is held at the Peebles chapel or a location of your choice, and cremation follows at the Peebles on-site crematory. Once cremation is complete, the cremated remains are returned to your family personally by a Peebles staff member, or arrangements are made for interment. Service-only pricing starts at $6,045 without visitation and $6,470 with visitation.
Memorial Service or Celebration of Life
A memorial service or celebration of life can be held before or after cremation, at the Peebles chapel or another location your family chooses. These services are free from the presence of a casket and can be designed around photographs, personal items, and tributes that reflect how your loved one lived. Life celebrants are available to lead services where clergy is not chosen. Service-only pricing starts at $4,905 without visitation and $5,330 with visitation. Peebles offers a $625 package discount when a memorial or celebration of life service is added to select packages.
Private Informal Goodbye
For families who prefer minimal services, the Private Informal Goodbye includes a brief private viewing for immediate family and direct cremation without a public ceremony or visitation. Total service-only price is $4,905.
Cremated Remains: Your Options
After cremation, Peebles can assist your family with keeping the urn at home, placing the urn in a columbarium niche at Fayette County Memorial Park Cemetery in Oakland, in-ground urn burial, scattering at the Peebles Scattering Stream or another location of your choice, or packaging and mailing cremated remains within the continental United States for $150.
Peace of Mind Cremation
Cremation at Peebles is performed at the on-site crematory at the Peebles West Funeral Chapel and Cremation Center in Oakland, built in 2003. From the moment your loved one is in Peebles' care until cremated remains are returned to your family, they never leave Peebles' care.
The cremation process uses an 11-step care and custody barcode verification system that tracks your loved one at every step. Each person is individually identified through fingerprint archiving and a unique stainless steel ID tag designed to endure the high temperatures of cremation. That tag is secured with the cremated remains when returned to your family. The result is complete accountability from first call to final return, and the option for families to select fingerprint-based memorial pendants, rings, and jewelry through Peebles' fingerprint archiving program.
Exclusive Experiences Available to Arlington Families
Storytelling by the Campfire
Offered exclusively by Peebles Funeral Home, the Storytelling by the Campfire experience invites families and friends to gather beside the lake behind the Peebles West Funeral Chapel in Oakland. Guests share stories and memories by firelight, with lawn chairs welcome and hot dogs and S'mores available. This experience is available for $425 and is open to any family Peebles serves, including Arlington families.

Peebles offers the first cremation scattering stream in the area, nestled beside the lake at the West Chapel property. Families can scatter cremated remains in a natural, peaceful setting alongside the water, creating an enduring place of remembrance connected to the land. This service is available for $295.
