Shackelford Funeral Directors of Selmer

Shackelford Funeral Directors of Selmer has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in McNairy County and the surrounding Tennessee communities since its founding. The Shackelford family’s commitment to serving families in their time of need began in 1945 when they purchased the funeral service assets of the Gooch family, marking the start of a legacy built on trust, dignity, and personalized attention. Originally located on North Third Street, the Selmer facility moved to its current home at 160 West Cypress Avenue in 1972, where a modern, accessible facility was constructed to better serve the growing community. Over the decades, the funeral home has evolved to meet the changing needs of families, most notably by opening its own crematory in 2012, centrally located adjacent to the Selmer facility to serve all Shackelford locations efficiently. This investment reflects the firm’s dedication to providing families with meaningful options, including traditional burial services and cremation services, all delivered with the utmost respect and professionalism.

Under the leadership of Robert Shackelford III, who has served as manager of the Selmer location since 1986, the funeral home maintains a strong tradition of community involvement and heartfelt service.
