Start a Scrapbook Sunday 📸

Photos tell our stories—moments we want to remember and pass on. This Sunday, gather with a loved one and start a scrapbook or memory box together.

It can be as simple as printed photos, drawings, or letters. The joy is in the sharing, the conversation, and honoring your shared history.

Have you ever made a family scrapbook? What did you include?

Tu BiShvat – Celebrating the New Year for Trees 🌳

A Time for Growth, Roots, and Renewal 🍇
Tu BiShvat begins tonight at sundown—a special day known as the New Year for Trees. 🌱 Traditionally, it’s a time to reflect on the beauty of nature, give thanks for the fruits of the earth, and honor the deep roots that nourish our lives.

Many observe by enjoying fruits from the land of Israel—dates, pomegranates, figs—and by planting or caring for trees. It’s a reminder that even in winter, renewal is quietly happening.

For more than eight decades, Morse‑Bayliss Funeral Home has remained a trusted place of comfort, dignity, and guidance for families in Lowell and beyond.

Founded in 1939 by Robert Morse, our legacy began with one simple belief: that every life deserves to be remembered with grace, warmth, and respect. Over the years, this tradition continued through the compassionate leadership of Walter “Wally” Bayliss Jr., and now carries forward under James “Jim” Dolan II.

From pre‑planning arrangements to personalized memorial services, every family we serve is treated as a neighbor—with sincerity and heart. We take the time to truly listen, understand, and walk beside you through every step of the journey. Because to us, this work is more than a service—it’s a calling rooted in care, connection, and community. 💛

🕯️ Finding Your Way Through the First 30 Days of Grief ❤️

The first month after losing someone you love can feel overwhelming, heavy, and unpredictable. During this time, emotions may shift from shock to sadness, guilt to calm — often all in the same day — and that’s completely normal. There’s no “right” way to grieve, and your journey through these early days is as unique as your connection with your loved one.

At Morse‑Bayliss Funeral Home, we understand how complex this first month of grief can be, and our aftercare support is here to walk alongside you. Whether you need resources, someone to listen, or a quiet place to reflect, we are honored to offer compassion and understanding.
