Douch Family Funeral Directors is a family-operated, independent funeral home nestled in the heart of Dorset. We have taken pride in serving the community for decades, emphasising the individual needs of every family, offering compassionate support, and delivering personalised funeral services. Our reach extends across key parts of the Dorset region, including Wimborne, Poole, Wareham, Swanage, Corfe Mullen, Blandford, and Ferndown. Each of our branches is independently operated, signifying our commitment to local services while harnessing the strengths of a wider network. Our comprehensive suite of funeral services are designed to meet a variety of needs. From funeral planning and arranging, where we guide families through the challenging process, to providing counsel on unique options such as woodland burials and memorials, we aim to offer diverse choices that respect and celebrate the life of loved ones. We also provide pre-paid funeral plans, offering peace of mind by helping families prepare for the future. Understanding the emotional and financial benefits of pre-planning, we aim to make this process as straightforward and comforting as possible. A cornerstone of our identity is the longstanding tradition of service in Dorset. Some of our independently-operated branches trace their establishment back to the 1800s, demonstrating a heritage of trust and reliability in the community. At Douch Family Funeral Directors, we recognise that not every family wishes for a traditional funeral in a church, crematorium, or burial ground. To accommodate varying preferences, we offer bespoke funeral ceremony rooms as an alternative, providing a more intimate or customisable environment for farewells. Among our facilities, our Ives & Shand Funeral Service in Parkstone, Lesley Shand Funeral Service in Corfe Mullen and Blandford each offer Ceremony Rooms with a capacity for up to 40 people. These serene, welcoming spaces can be personalised to reflect the unique life being celebrated. For larger gatherings, we have recently expanded our facilities with the construction of a ceremony room and catering suite at AE Jolliffe & Son Funeral Directors in Ferndown. With its modern amenities, this venue can comfortably host up to 80 guests. At the heart of our work, Douch Family Funeral Directors strives to offer choices that cater to each family's unique preferences, ensuring that every farewell we arrange is dignified, memorable, and truly representative of the individual being remembered. We are committed to serving the Dorset community with heartfelt professionalism and unwavering dedication.

Nothing was too much trouble
From our first meeting with Peter to arrange Dads funeral, we were made to feel at ease and we immediately knew we were in safe hands. We were guided through every step of the procedure, including costings not only for the funeral but also for the necessary extras: Celebrant, florist etc.
We felt very assured and comfortable that whilst in the care of the funeral home, Dad was being respectfully cared for and we were informed that we would be able to spend time with him in the chapel should we wish to do so.
The service was not rushed in any way and went very smoothly. Peter was most accommodating at all times and we were even allowed to have a visual tribute of photos included. We felt that Dad had been given the dignified send off that he deserved.
Two weeks after the funeral we had the ashes internment at our local cemetery. Peter liased with the town council and grave diggers on our behalf and once again he made the procedure simple and completely stress free.
We could not fault the service that we were given by Lesley Shand Funeral Directors. The level of service and genuine care was extremely high and they were very professional, accommodating and friendly. We would not hesitate recommending them.
Although it was understandably a sad occasion, it was made so much easier by having the guidance and help from Peter who consistently showed sincerity and kindness.

Lesley Shand helped me through such a difficult time.
Lesley Shand in Blandford handled my mum's funeral. She had a funeral plan with them, so it was easier than it could have been anyway, but Peter Short, one of the Funeral Directors there was so comforting in the first few days after mum's death. I didn't know what to do or where to start, so I called the 24 hour helpline at 7am and asked for help. Peter called me as soon as the office opened, and saw me at their premises that day. He took things from there with my input and wishes, so I felt that things were all under control from that point on. And he dealt with everything so sensitively, with real insight into the type of person mum was (she lost her husband 6 months beforehand and had met with Peter a few times). From the beginning of the process, through to the funeral, and then the storage of the ashes, I felt that I was taken care of, a priority, and never an inconvenience. I can't thank Peter and his colleagues enough.

Excellent reputation
We chose AE Joliffe & son Funeral Directors in Ferndown because of their excellent reputation and both my parents had funeral plans there. The ceremonial room on site was warm, intimate and convenient for friends and neighbours.
We were immediately put at ease by Adrian on initial arrival. All the staff were warm, welcoming, respectful and very professional.
All our needs were met and the service was memorable.
We had a board with family photos and a video of photos accompanied by music of our choice.
We also took the catering option, which was delicious and were able to bring in our own wine.
A huge thanks for the excellent service and would recommend highly.

At the beginning
At the beginning, booking the plan was a simple process, where, at a time of sadness, I was guided with sympathy, through the procedure then, and how, when my wife passed, the service wold continue. When that time came the wishes of myself and family, were uppermost in the minds of Douch Family Funeral Directors. No small matter was left untended. Our thoughts were taken fully into consideration. The funeral itself, proceeded exactly how we would have wished, giving many of those attending, a quiet joy at the service, celebrating the life of my wife.

Dear John, thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. We feel honoured to have looked after your wife, when setting up the funeral plan and then sadly when she passed away. We take comfort in the fact that the service at the crematorium was ‘a quiet joy’ for you all. Thank you for allowing us to look after you and your family. Kind regards. From Adrian, Helen the rest of the team at A E Jolliffe & Son.
Very welcoming and helpful staff
Very welcoming and helpful staff, who went above and beyond to make our experience as honouring to mum as possible. Even finding a pink sparkly scatter tube for us which was so fitting for mum. All costs are clearly shown with nothing hidden, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Unpressured. Elise was very knowledgeable and answered any questions that we had. Highly recommended.
