There was also a small shop just a few doors below Loui's, on the same side of the street. They used to sell Headstones, Urns and scrolls Etc. but whether it was a proper Undertaker's or not, i'm not certain. Azzabuv. In the late 50's my mothers cousin Hilda (nee Tate) lived at the house on Abbott Street next to the yard of the undertakers above. Her husband Harry Wood(s) made the coffins in the workshop there. I thought that he owned the business, but can't be sure.

Born at Heanor 94 yrs ago, Mr Hawley had spent the whole of his long and useful life in the town, formerly in business with his father Mr John Hawley, deceased had for many years carried on business as a joiner and undertaker, and was honoured as a fine type of Business man.

Peter Chamberlain Researcher	Undertakers replied on: 9/27/2004 7:56:32 AM The co-op undertakers were based at the Cromford road site same place as the stables. I believe this was also where the Funeral Parlour was until moving to Holbrook Street. If my memory serves me right a Mr Freddy Kirk was involved either as Transport manager or Funeral Director
RMMee Moderator	Undertakers replied on: 9/27/2004 3:16:31 AM I've had a query asking whether the main LM&A Co-op on the Market Place ever included a funeral parlour?!? Before I answer "no," can anyone tell me where their funeral parlour was? I think in later years it as at the junction of Holbrook Street and Howitt Street, but that building had also been a grocery - so where were the Co-op undertakers then? I've created this as a new topic, so that if anyone wants to add anything about other undertakers, please feel free to do so.
