The collection, in 28 oversize boxes, is comprised of financial records, maps, and daybooks. The financial records, contained in four volumes, enumerate income and expenses of the funeral home, 1922-1940. The daybooks contain the records of funeral arrangements handled by Moore Funeral Home, 1937-1986. The names of the deceased are indexed in the front of each volume. Funerals were generally arranged for former residents of Arlington and Tarrant County, although some individuals lived in Dallas and other nearby counties. Information about the deceased provided in the daybooks include address; birth and death dates; birthplace; cause of death; place of death; marital status; occupation; parents’ name; veteran status; certifying physician; details of the funeral arrangement and cost; and burial site. Burials were made in Rose Hill, Laurel Land, Oakland and other area cemeteries in addition to Moore Memorial Gardens, White Chapel, and Parkdale. Plat maps of internment sites at Moore Memorial Gardens and Parkdale cemeteries are also found in the records.
