🐾 A big thank you to The Arc of Union County for welcoming Bailey, our beloved therapy dog, and Ryan for a special visit with your amazing campers!

We had such a wonderful time connecting, sharing smiles, and bringing a little extra comfort and joy to the day. Your kindness and enthusiasm made the visit truly special.

We’re already looking forward to our next time together! 💙

We’re incredibly proud to share that one of our very own funeral directors, Ryan Tombs, and his dog, Bailey have officially become a certified therapy dog team! 🐶💚

After months of training with K9 Kim in Roselle and certification through AIR Dogs (a program that focuses on visiting schools), Ryan and Bailey are now ready to offer comfort, support, and a warm presence to the families we serve.

Bailey will be available at the funeral home for any family who wishes to include a little extra comfort in their time of need. You’ll also be seeing them out and about at local street fairs, nursing homes, hospice centers, and hospitals—spreading love and bringing smiles wherever they go.

Please join us in congratulating Ryan and Bailey on this wonderful accomplishment—we’re so lucky to have them as part of our team. 🐾💙

One of our funeral directors, Ryan Tombs and his dog Bailey are starting on their journey in becoming a therapy dog team! She will be available as requested by the families we serve. Also, look for them at all the Spring, Summer and Fall local town events like Fannywood day, Garwood Rocks and Festifall!

A little bit about Bailey- She is a 6yr old Great Pyrenees/ Australian Shepherd mix that Ryan and his family rescued. Bailey was rescued from Georgia. She has been through multiple training classes with K9 Kim in Roselle Park and is currently enrolled in the Intro To Animal Assisted Therapy program. Bailey enjoys spending time with her brother, Rowan, car rides and exploring in the woods.

We look forward to adding Bailey to the Memorial Funeral Home team!

Although grief is universal, it can still feel very lonely. Remember to check in with the people in your life who have recently experienced loss… a few kind words can truly make a huge difference.

For anyone in need of support, please feel free to reach out to us for resources on coping with grief. 💙
