Bob Arrington Sells Arrington Funeral Directors and Crematory to Park Lawn Corp.

Park Lawn Corporation announced in a news release that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Arrington Funeral Directors and Crematory located in Jackson, Tennessee. This transaction further strengthens Park Lawn’s presence in the Tennessee market through the addition of one stand-alone funeral home.

Arrington, who is also the founder of ObituaryShare, was the subject of an in-depth profile by FuneralVision, which traced his journey from being a 7-year-old boy who spent lots of time at the nearby funeral home to a first-generation funeral director and owner.

Arrington stated “We’ve known and trusted the Park Lawn team for a long time, and I’m confident that they’re the right partner to carry the business forward. This transaction reflects not only our strong alignment on quality service to our community, but also a shared commitment to its continued success.”

“We are very pleased to further extend our presence in the State of Tennessee through the strategic acquisition of the Arrington business,” said Jennifer W. Hay, chief executive officer of PLC. “For over three decades, the Arrington business has been a cornerstone of its community, providing trusted and compassionate care to the families it serves. We are honored to partner with Bob and Judy Arrington to continue to provide the highest level of service and care to the community, and we look forward to welcoming each member of their wonderful staff into the Park Lawn family, including the Arrington’s beloved certified therapy dog, Gracie.”
