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.

Giving my Mother the perfect funeral
Lesley Shand gave my late Mother the most wonderful funeral. Every detail of the service was just perfect. From arranging the flowers, the music, the local minister and the catering for the wake, Leanne, one of the funeral directors at Lesley Shand, made sure every single detail, no matter how small, was catered for. My Mother and I were very close and her passing was a huge loss for which time will not heal, but, I think she would have been very happy with the "send off" she received from Lesley Shand. If you are, or are about to, go through the grief of losing a loved one, then I highly recommend Lesley Shand Funeral Service in Corfe Mullen.

It was our honour for myself and my Team to care for your late Mother with the respect that she deserved. Your kindness, attention to detail and love shone through, to ensure that we were able to give her the very best send off. We had a beautiful service that was delivered by the Canon in our Ceremony Room, followed by a lovely afternoon tea.
Taking the time to thank us and your kind words mean a lot to us, thank you. We look forward to seeing you soon for that cup of tea and catch up.
Kindest regards and best wishes from Leanne and the rest of the team at Lesley Shand Funeral Service.
The truth about the service you offer.
Having been informed of my mums death by my Son, I telephoned there office, telling them I was the Son of my mother and ask for some details, of the solicitor or the name of the person handling mums funeral, so I could attend mums funeral. I was told that information was not available to me, with no explanation.
As I am a 68 year old disabled man with a broken back/spine, I had no contact information for my family, So I was unable to attend my mums funeral.
So I am wondering where did all the lovely caring funeral director Peter go, maybe my mums money was not good enough.

Dear David,
We are sorry to hear how distressing this situation has been for you. The loss of a parent is always difficult, particularly where family relationships are complex.
As funeral directors, we are instructed by, and accountable to, the person arranging the funeral. We are legally and ethically required to maintain their confidentiality and cannot disclose certain information without their consent. This is not discretionary, it is a professional obligation that applies to every family we serve.
The funeral details, including location, date and time were published on the Memoriam page, in line with the wishes of the arranging family member, so that those who wished to attend could do so.
Our team is committed to treating every family with fairness, dignity and respect, and payment arrangements never influence the care provided.
If you would like to discuss your concerns directly, we would be willing to speak with you privately.
Nick Douch

Dad's passing
Adrian and his team were very professional but also compassionate. Mum was very impressed with the way they took care of us and showed great respect on the day of the funeral. Thanks to Helen for sorting the photo montage and for sending them to me plus the service itself. Ellie the celebrant was excellent and prepared a brilliant eulogy based on our memories. Would thoroughly recommend their room for the service. We found it very personnel and between them and us we did my dad proud. Can't thank then enough. Thank you Adrian

Funeral of mum
From the moment I contacted the out of hours team I knew that my relative was going to be looked after in a dignified and caring manner which she deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend Leanne and all the staff at Corfe Mullen who were so kind and caring throughout such a difficult time.

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.
