Anyone in our staff is available upon request at either Guibord or Sayles funeral homes.

Rodney Sayles has been a licensed funeral director and embalmer since 1976 and has co-owned and operated Sayles Funeral Home since 1978. He grew up in St. Johnsbury and graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1971, the University of Vermont in 1975, and the New England Institute in 1976. The Sayles raised their family of three children living above the funeral home and still chose to live there given the 24/7 nature of funeral business.

Thomas Barrett started a new career in funeral service in 1996 and is a licensed funeral director.

Owner Rodney Sayles selected Tom for his warm and friendly way. Tom is a 1976 graduate of St. Johnsbury Academy and married Patti Gaskin of Lyndonville.  Tom is principally responsible for the day-to-day operations of Guibord Funeral Home in Lyndonville. 

Ernie Coolbeth began working part-time at the Guibord Funeral Home in 1973 with Charles Guibord.  He and wife Bev remain valuable and important parts of our service to the Lyndonville community.

Karen Sayles is the co-owner and corporate secretary of Desrochers & Sayles, Inc. and is an integral part of its operations. She is a teacher in the Barton school system and an active member of the North Congregational Church.
