About Us

In 1926, R. E. Shackelford moved to Savannah, Tennessee, in hopes of opening the town's first funeral home--something that many in town said would never last. It has, and today the Shackelford family has followed R. E.'s lead and ventured into somewhat unknown territory. On February 15, 2011, the Shackelfords opened Shackelford Pet Services. Their goal was to provide the same level of care that they have shown families all over West Tennessee for so many years to a group of people who have been neglected up to this point: pet owners. For many, a pet is almost like a child, and for some a pet is even more. These people also need someone to help them in times of loss, and Shackelford Pet Services will do exactly that. With cremation and private burial options, Shackelford Pet Services is committed to serving the people of Hardin County and the surrounding area.
