Timothy G. King lived with his family above their funeral parlor and livery stable at 3171 S. Archer Avenue, in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood. In the early 1930's, Timothy's sons, Earl F. and Gerald F. King helped expand the business in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood at 2506 W. 63rd Street. It is at this former location where third generation funeral director, John E. King, was raised. Having lived above the family funeral home all his life, John King acquired an intimate knowledge of the funeral business. In 1972 John took over the business and has continued to serve families on the southwest side of Chicago and Suburbs ever since.</p> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
