Our Facilities

In 1945 the Shackelfords purchased the funeral service assets of the Gooch family, allowing them to expand into McNairy County and the surrounding areas. The business, which was located on North Third Street, was moved to Cypress Avenue in 1972 when construction was completed on the current facility. The increasing use of cremation by families led the Shackelfords to open their own crematory in 2012 which they chose to centrally locate adjacent to the Selmer facility in order to easily serve all of the Shackelford locations. Robert Shackelford, III currently serves as manager of this location, a position he has held since 1986.

How we began

Waco Memorial Park was founded in 1947 by men of outstanding vision whose purpose it was to create a nonsectarian cemetery, to be perpetuated as a memorial park. From the beginning, their ideas met the approval of families who saw Waco Memorial Park as a place where those who pass on may rest in an environment of dignity and peace.

What Differentiates Us

Waco Memorial Park is the only cemetery in the area that has perpetual care established under the State of Texas Department of Banking. In conformity with State Cemetery Laws, a percentage of each lot sale is deposited in an irrevocable trust fund which provides upkeep of each lot forever. Families will never be asked to pay any dues or assessments for upkeep.
