About Arlington Funeral Services
For over 20 years, Arlington Funeral Services has supported families across Stoke-on-Trent with dignity, warmth and professional care. Our funeral home was created to provide a trusted local space where families feel safe, informed and gently guided during some of life's most difficult moments.
Our Story – A Legacy of Care
Arlington Funeral Services is based in a former library on Ford Green Road, Stoke-on-Trent. The building was lovingly renovated in 2001 by our founder, Steve Boulton, who restored it to its former character and created a welcoming space for families to gather and reflect. Steve sadly passed away in 2019. His legacy continues today through his wife Tracey, their family, and the trusted team Steve built.
Our Pledge to You
When you place your loved one in our care, we make you this promise: We are not a large company. We are a local, family-run funeral home — and that means every person who walks through our doors matters. Your loved one will always be treated with dignity and respect. We will support you — before, during and after the funeral. We will listen to your wishes and guide you clearly. You will always know who is caring for your loved one. Every decision will be explained gently and professionally.
Why Families Choose Arlington
Our team has experience working across both independent funeral homes and within the Coroner’s Office, which has given us a rare depth of understanding when it comes to funeral care and the processes families may face. As an independent funeral director, we offer personal, individual care, treat your loved one as one of our own, provide clear explanations at every step, welcome families into our funeral home whenever needed, and ensure your loved one remains in our care at all times.
Proud Members of NAFD & SAIF
At Arlington Funeral Services, we believe that families deserve complete confidence in the quality of care their loved one will receive. That is why we are proud members of both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and SAIF – the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors. These memberships are not automatic — they must be earned and maintained through regular inspections, adherence to strict codes of practice and a proven commitment to professional standards.
What This Means for Your Family
By choosing an NAFD and SAIF member, you can be assured of high professional standards, transparent pricing, proper training and qualifications, a code of conduct, and complaints and mediation support. Membership means we are accountable not only to our community — but also to national bodies that exist to protect families and uphold dignity in funeral care. In simple terms, it means your loved one is in safe hands — and your wishes will always be respected.
Leaving the Light On
Saying goodbye isn’t just one moment. At Arlington, we also provide ways to reflect, remember and honour your loved one — gently and in your own time. Our Chapel of Rest offers a quiet space for families to visit privately. It is calm, safe and personal — a setting where final goodbyes can be made with peace and dignity.
