The funeral home's history in Carrollton reaches back to the city's early undertaking firms. In 1888, two furniture and undertaking firms were established: Armstrong and Beall, on the northwest corner of the square, and Askew and Bradley. Askew and Bradley was bought in 1891 by S.C. Kytle, who renamed it Bradley Furniture & Undertaking Company. Armstrong and Beall was bought by Carrollton Furniture and Undertaking Company, owned by L.C. Mandeville, N.A. Horton, and others. In late 1910, Carrollton Furniture and Company held a liquidation sale, and Kytle bought the remaining stock and fixtures and moved to the square, later selling his interest to his son-in-law, T.J. Aycock. The firm became Kytle & Aycock in 1919, the furniture department was liquidated in 1940, and Aycock Funeral Home opened on Newnan Street. In 1928, Henry Almon owned and operated Martin & Almon Funeral Home with his brother-in-law, Cliff Martin, and nephew, Stewart Martin, on the southwest corner of the square. Chick Almon, raised in the funeral business, trained in 1937 at Gupton-Jones College of Mortuary Science in Nashville, Tennessee.

Almon Funeral Home & Chapel sits on Newnan Street, about 0.1 miles from the Carrollton Senior Center and the Doctor Tracy P. Stallings Community Center, and about 0.2 miles from Worthy Park.
