About Murphy Funeral Homes
Murphy Funeral Homes has served the Arlington, VA area as a full-service funeral home, though families should be aware that it operates as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — something that matters to families who prefer locally or independently owned providers. The home offers a full range of services including cremation and traditional burial arrangements, and staff appear well-equipped to coordinate with out-of-state funeral homes when needed. With a 4.8-star rating across 185 Google reviews, customer feedback is largely positive, with reviewers frequently singling out individual staff members — particularly Christina Prue and Polly — for their compassion, professionalism, and guidance through a difficult process. One reviewer, themselves a funeral professional, noted that the exterior entrance appeared unkempt at the time of a service, which is worth keeping in mind if the presentation of the facility matters to your family.

a month agoEvery aspect of my dealing with Murphy Funeral Home in Arlington was informative, hospitable, and professional. I would & will refer people to contact Murphy’s when their need arises. Christina Prue made all arrangements thoughtful and appropriate. Thank you, Christine!
★★★★★Marnie Dodson
a month agoWe worked with Polly at Murphy Funeral Homes to plan the cremation for a family member. I appreciated her warmth and kindness and understanding of our needs and concerns. They made the process easy and had options for everything we would need. Highly recommend this business.

Staff was very helpful in preparing and posting the obituary and in assisting with audio/visual issues. The food served…

Christina Prue was professional, kind, compassionate and thorough in guiding us through this very difficult process. It was during the Christmas Holiday and even though she had her own family to attend to, she took all…

While at my uncles service- pulling up the outside was gross. It wouldn't have taken more than 15 minutes to sweep the front entrance and wal…
