It is owned and operated by the second-generation McQueen family and serves Florida’s Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties region with six service facilities. Anderson-McQueen is the first funeral home in the United States to practice flameless cremation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Kent Hansen Choosing to be Flushed Away )〕 ==History== John S. Anderson and William F. McQueen founded Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home in 1952. The original Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home was established in a residential St. Petersburg home and now houses Anderson-McQueen’s Northeast St. Petersburg Tribute Center, one of Anderson-McQueen’s six operating facilities. After the death of co-founder, John Anderson in 1970, William McQueen assumed sole ownership of the business. In 1984, McQueen invested in a portion of St. Petersburg’s Sunnyside Cemetery, established in 1895, that stretches three blocks.(USGenWeb) McQueen’s three children succeeded ownership of the business after his death in 1987.〔 In 1990, The McQueen’s acquired the Bobbitt-Gunter Funeral Chapel, now known as Anderson-McQueen’s Tyrone Family Tribute Center located in the Tyrone/Gulf Beach area. Later, they purchased the Alan R. McLeod Funeral Chapel located in the St. Petersburg suburb of Meadowlawn in 1994 from Alan and Carole McLeod. In 1997, Anderson-McQueen opened St. Petersburg’s first on-site crematory. The facility included both a reception and visitation space located within the crematorium. The reception facility has since been converted to the Bio-Cremation room. John T. McQueen became president and CEO of Anderson-McQueen in 2010 after buying out his brother and sister from the family's funeral & cemetery operations. Previously, he was the company’s vice president and COO, as well as the owner of the Sunnyside Cemetery and founder of Affordable Memorials. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anderson-McQueen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
