My name is William “Oliver” Petty, owner of Petty Funeral Home, LLC. I graduated high school from Escambia Academy and then went on to earn my degree in Mortuary Science from Jefferson State Community College. I am nationally board certified in embalming and funeral directing. We are a family-owned business and I have been actively involved since a young boy under my father and the founder, Joe M. Petty, before transitioning into an ownership and overseer position. At Petty Funeral Home we take pride and special care in our work to oversee all the details in transitioning your loved ones from their earthly home. Services provided include, but are not limited to burial, cremation, monuments and memorials. I value family and ensure that my team will do what it takes to help you and your family through one of life’s most difficult times. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife Nychole, Maleah and our dog Honey as well as spending time with friends, fishing and Alabama football. I thank you in advance for considering Petty Funeral Home, LLC.
