Gary Taylor

I began my career in the funeral profession in 1982 in the UK for a large funeral company called Francis Chappell & Son in Orpington, Kent.  Having completed my training programme after about two and a half years I was promoted to Assistant Manager of the head office branch of Francis Chappell & Son at Orpington.  I have also worked for a number of other Funeral Directors, both large and small in the UK.  In 2004 I moved to NZ with my Kiwi-born partner, Teresa, and her two children.  I worked part time for Lloyd Morris, the owner and Managing Director of Morris & Morris Ltd, up until he sold the business in November 2006 to Davis Funeral Services Auckland.
