The Bailey Funeral Home was originally known as the Stanard Funeral Home and was purchased by Herbert and Edna Bailey of Peterborough, NH in 1957. They eventually changed the name and some years later their son Ronald N. Bailey came to work with them. In 1975 Ron purchased the funeral home from his parents and together with his wife Carol "Binky" Bailey, they operated the business until retiring in 1993. The funeral home was then purchased by Dennis & Pamela Couture of Colebrook, NH. Dennis has 28 years experience in funeral service. He is a 1982 graduate of New England Institute in Boston, MA, and is a licensed funeral director and embalmer in New Hampshire and Vermont. In November of 2011 Andrew B. Nolette joined the staff as a licensed funeral director and embalmer. Andrew is a native of Lebanon, NH, and was employed for six years with the Ricker Funeral Home. He graduated from Lebanon High School in 2004 and Mt. Ida College in 2007. Locally he has family connections including his father, former Lancaster resident Peter Nolette and his grandparents Fred and Rita Nolette also formerly of Lancaster. Ron has continued to work with at the funeral home in a part-time capacity providing assistance whenever needed. Worthy mention has to be given to the many family members and friends who assist at a moments notice and help us provide the utmost in service that is necessary for the day-to-day operations of a funeral home.
