Información sobre la empresa
Escrito por la empresa
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.

Everyone was so kind and helpful
Everyone was so kind and helpful, taking the time to assess and advise on your personal requirements. This made a sad and difficult time so much easier.
The venue is well designed and the ability to accommodate refreshments in situ is an attractive option, especially if many people attending the service are elderly.

Dear Mrs Wood, it was our privilege to look after you and your family during this difficult time of loosing a loved one. The Sheila Kendrick Suite was the perfect setting to say your goodbyes, and for everyone to stay after the service and continue sharing your memories.
Kind regards. From Adrian, Helen and the rest of the team at A E Jolliffe& Son.
Excellent throughout
A very difficult time but made so much easier by Kerry and her colleagues. So professional and relaxed, offering whatever you require. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The Sheila Kendrick Suite was ideal.

Compassionate and professional
We had a great experience from initially speaking to Elise, the funeral director who was compassionate and caring until the funeral itself which was organised with great care and professionalism.

After Mum passed away
After Mum passed away, the company acted in a very professional manner nothing was too much. they had a great level of understanding and told me how the whole process over the next few weeks before the funeral would work and gave me great advice about the funeral itself involving catering and the venue. Everything went according to plan and the day was for a funeral very very good the on-site facilities I thought with brilliant people were able to come and be under one roof for the funeral and the meeting of friends and family afterwards.

Thank you Richard for your kindness in leaving a review, it is very important to us to receive feedback and of course was lovely to read your comments. Your choice to hold the service in our ceremony room and to follow with catering worked well for you as a family and we would therefore like to thank you for giving us the privilege to look after you all at such a very difficult time.

Throughout the whole process of sorting out arrangements all staff encountered were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything dealt with compassion and reverence.
Have never had to organise a funeral before so found this very daunting- it went like clockwork both my mother and me were more than satisfied and surprised at the cost- was expecting it to be expensive but found it to be very reasonable.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased that everything went well and that you felt fully supported throughout all the arrangements for your loved one. It was a lovely and personal service for him, and with the service and refreshments all taking place in our onsite ceremony room, you were able to say your goodbyes to him and spend time with your loved ones in one space. Kind regards. From Adrian, Helen and the rest of the team at AE Jolliffe & Son.

I can’t recommend AE Jolliffe (Douch Family)Funeral Directors enough. They are not only extremely professional but show endless kindness and a real understanding of the difficult time you are going through. The site at Victoria Rd in Ferndown has a beautiful ceremony room with an attached room for catering should you want it. All under one roof is so much easier to organise.

Dear Mrs Brooks, thank you for your lovely words. It was our honour to support you throughout the planning and delivery of your loved ones funeral. At this difficult time, we are glad you were able to find comfort and support with us and in our on site ceremony room. It really was a funeral dedicated to them and it was a fitting tribute to them. Kind regards. From Adrian and the rest of the team at A E Jolliffe & Son.
Peter was kind and helpful
Peter, in Blandford Forum, was very kind and patient with our questions and worries. We had quite an untraditional ceremony (a natural burial at Shillingstone) but he ensured all went without a hitch. We did most - if not all - of our own "extras" (car, flowers, order of service) and he didn't try to sell us anything we hadn't asked for. The instructions given to the family bearers were very clear, and the professional team (for the lowering of the coffin, and operating music etc) were very professional. Thank you Peter and team.

Dear Jill,
Thank you so much for your kind words – it truly means a lot. It was an honour to support you through such a difficult time. I’m so pleased the recommendations were helpful and that you felt well looked after.
When I had the privilege of meeting your mum, I was struck by her beautiful smile and kind soul. It was clear how much she meant to those around her, and I feel grateful to have played a small part in honouring her life.
With heartfelt thanks. From Marcella & the rest of the team at Ives and Shand Funeral Service.
