The Morin Funeral Home, founded by the late Omer P. LaChapelle, has been serving the the Franco- American community in Worcester in its present location since 1926.
The former LaChapelle Funeral Home was purchased by Adelard G. Morin in 1959. Mr. Morin, a kind and gentle man, was a consumate funeral service professional who ran the business with compassion and caring, always putting the needs of bereaved families first. In the 1960's Mr. Morin expanded the facilities, creating one of Worcester's largest visitation rooms.
LaChapelle-Morin Funeral Home later evolved into Morin Funeral Home, operated by Mr. Morin until his retirment in 1986. At that time he sold the business to John J. Kazlauskas, then owner of the Dirsa-Kazlauskas Funeral Home on nearby Providence Street, thus creating Dirsa-Morin Funeral Homes Inc., Funeral and Cremation Service.
John J. Kazlauskas, CFSP(Certified Funeral Service Practicioner), is a first generation funeral director, licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts since 1967. He is President and CEO of the company and currently serves as Past Chairman of the Board of Registration in Funeral Service for the Commonwealth Of Massachusetts. An aggressive consumer advocate, Mr. Kazlauskas has served on the Board since 1988. He also serves as District Governor of The International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards, and has been an active member of The Professional Policy Committee. Additionally, in April 2003 Mr. Kazlauskas was elected President of The International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards. A longtime member and former Director of The Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association, he co-founded The Greater Worcester Funeral Directors Association in 1979.
John Kazlauskas and Dirsa-Morin Inc. continue to operate Morin Funeral Home at it's present location, maintaining the tradition of service set by Omer LaChapelle and Adelard Morin. Dirsa-Morin Funeral Home is a full service company, staffed around the clock to respond to your needs with the caring and compassion that our heritage dictates.
Recognizing the unique ethnic diversity of the Worcester community, the Dirsa-Morin Funeral Home has developed a high level of sensitivity to the religious, ethnic and economic circumstances of the families it serves.
