The Shackelford family is pleased to announce that we will soon be opening our own cremation center.  Shackelford Cremation Services, Inc. will be based in Selmer, Tennessee and will serve all Shackelford facilities. The new center will be located in what was formerly the Adams House; previously the house held the offices of the McNairy County Chamber of Commerce and the McNairy Regional Alliance.

Renovation of the property began several months ago with the restoration of the original house and the enclosure of the carport that was added years after the initial construction of the home.  In an effort to maintain the Craftsman style of the structure, the carport enclosure has been framed to look like a carriage house while actually serving as the location of the cremation unit. The home itself will contain the office for the cremation center as well as a reception area for families wishing to attend a loved one’s cremation and a viewing room for their use.

Once the establishment is fully licensed by the State of Tennessee through the State Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, all cremations for Shackelford firms will take place there.
