Lynn and Terry Allen opened
their funeral service in
September 1995. Terry left
school in 1972, at the age of
15 and decided on a career in
the funeral industry.
He
obtained a position with
Francis Chappel & Sons and
started to learn how to
prepare coffins, collect
deceased from hospital and
homes, be a pallbearer and to
do various other jobs in the
funeral trade.
He became a freelance embalmer
in 1980, working for various
funeral directors in London,
Essex and Kent.
He met Lynn in 1975, whose
father, uncles and granddad
worked in the family business
of her great grandfather's,
H.W. Simpson's. |
