They are the epitome of *great* customer service. You are in very good hands with Jim O'Donnell and his staff. They also have a first rate hairdresser on staff. They give 100% for the grieving family from the first phone call for intake to the post-burial hand over of death certificates. I highly recommend advising your elderly parent to select and pre-pay their funeral package - it makes it all so easy for the family left behind when it's needed. It's one of most responsible and thoughtful gifts a parent can give their children. read more

Wonderfully compassionate and helpful. They stepped outside the box to make a way in a difficult situation, concerned primarily that we had what was needed. Very thankful - they made a significant difference in how the day might have gone. read more

I can not say enough positive things about Fred Healy and the staff at Morse Bayliss Funeral Home…read more I have used Morse Bayliss Funeral Home for a long time and would not go anywhere else. They have provided professional services for my grandparents and my father. This week we had a sudden tragic loss in our family and Fred went above and beyond in helping us make the arrangements. We also had a mix of faiths and he was able to help me put together a ceremony that was just perfect. Fred is also ALWAYS available 24 hours to answer any questions. Fred and his wife Janis also created a memorial slide-show and provided information for how to live-stream the service for those unable to travel. Finally, even with COVID restrictions Fred made my family members feel safe and comfortable. I would not choose anyone else for services.
