Paquette is known for his genuine passion for helping others and his ability to provide personalized guidance and support to families during their most vulnerable moments. His commitment to excellence and compassionate service has earned him a reputation as a trusted professional in the funeral industry.

Additionally, he has been Treasurer of the DaVinci Center for Community Progress in Providence and remains a member of both the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Funeral Directors Associations.
Beyond his professional life, Paquette is a devoted husband to Sarah Paquette, a certified public accountant, and a proud father to their two children, Kendal and Camden. He and his family are active members of Transfiguration of the Lord Parish and St. Mary-Sacred Heart School where both his children attend in North Attleborough.

Dyer-Lake Funeral Home is proud to have a dedicated and compassionate team, including Tim Nay (Type 6 Director), Sara Collins (Funeral Director of Advanced Planning), Bonnie Cook, Susan Farquharson and her husband Bob, Ernie Gravel, Shirley Nolin, Sandra Spencer, and Tish Conca. Each member of the Dyer-Lake staff plays a vital role in providing meaningful, personalized services that honor the lives of those entrusted to their care. The funeral home is honored to have Tom as part of its team, where his expertise, dedication, and compassion will continue to serve families with the highest level of care and professionalism.
Constructed in the first quarter of the 19th century, the funeral home is known for its eloquent details on both the interior and exterior of the building. The facade of the building was designed to resemble a Greek temple with its stone structure and embossed pillars. The most unique element is its roof line, with an enclosed glass belvedere, commonly known as a cupola. A beautiful comforting setting, paired with kind and compassionate staff, the Dyer-Lake Funeral Home is proud to serve North Attleborough and surrounding communities.
