Kinney Parking Company was a New Jersey funeral home company that eventually transformed itself into Warner Communications, a precursor to today's Time Warner media empire. The funeral home company expanded into New York parking lots, office cleaning firms and construction companies. Steve Ross joined Kinney Parking after marrying the owner's daughter and pursued an aggressive expansion of the company's properties. Kinney merged with the National Cleaning Company in 1966 to form Kinney National Company, headed by Ross.
