Eddie Sheffield

General Manager

Serving the community and our country has been the backbone of Eddie’s career.  From his time in the U.S. Air Force to his time tending to grieving families, a servant’s heart was at work.  After his time in the military he followed the dream of an aviation career, but funeral service was always in his heart.   

After his parents passed away young, he was shown the light to his path.  After graduating from American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service, New York, NY he served a one-year residency at the funeral home that would soon name him Managing Funeral Director. The years to follow brought many opportunities to advance his knowledge and business acumen.  Eddie ultimately settled in the Gulf Breeze area to be near his family and friends and is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.  

When duties permit, he enjoys renovating his home and will always have a love for all thing’s aviation.  Eddie also enjoys sailing and the white sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast.
