Jas. F. Allen, Funeral Director,
1921, Formerly Mr. C. Willis.
Jas. F. Allen, Funeral Director, of Murray Street, Cooma, purchased the
business from Mr. C. Willis about five years ago. Funerals were then conducted
and carried on by the old horse system, but Mr. Allen, being a progressive man,
dispensed with the horses and purchased a Ford motor hearse, which he later
replaced with a Buick hearse and a Studebaker mourning coach. Funerals are
conducted with pomp and reverence.
