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.

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.

Dear Annie, thank you for lovely words we have received. We are so pleased that you were able to use the space in our ceremony room to personalise the service for your loved one. The use of the room for refreshments afterwards made it easier for your friends and family afterwards. We were privileged to look after your loved one, and your family during this difficult time, hopefully we made it all a lot easier for you. Kindest regards. From Adrian and the rest of the team at A E Jolliffe & Son.

Thank you Malcolm for these kind words. We were privileged to help you and your family with the organising of your loved ones funeral, and this was truly reflected in the service in our onsite ceremony room. Thank you for allowing us to support you and your family. Kindest regards. From Adrian, Helen and the rest of the team at A E Jolliffe & Son.
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.

Dignified but unfussy
When making the arrangements for this funeral I was really listened to. Everything was done just how I hoped it would be, but also, some things were above and beyond my expectations. The whole ceremony was dignified and unfussy, effect for my family.

Absolutely the best funeral home ❤️
Danelle was absolutely an amazing credit to your team.. she is so kind , professional and caring for every tiny detail to be exact for Dads funeral. Her commitment and contribution to our family was incredibly inspiring. Natalie her wingman was as lovely and kind, & nothing seem to be too much trouble for this incredibly generous people. I would recommend them a million % .
As a total deer in the head lights , not knowing an absolute thing for dad’s funeral, Danielle simply said on our 1st meeting … “we’ve got this and Dad will have the best send off ever. “. And she was so TRUE to her words. She was PERFECT. & her Team in a very challenging Family situation.
This funeral was arranged from NORFOLK.
And you wouldn’t have known that l was not living in Corfe Mullen . I was never made to feel alone at anytime ❤️
10/10 and 5 🌟s isn’t enough

Listened and delivered
Very helpful, treated with total respect, listened to what we wanted and delivered. The Ceremony Room was so much better than the crematorium.
No funeral is nice but this was as good as it gets.

Excellent beyond measure.
At a time of emotional distress when a loved one had died it was so reassuring to be dealt with in such a kind and gracious way. All of the staff I dealt with were caring and kind. It made an awful time more bearable.

Funeral for Vera
We had an unattended funeral arranged by the funeral directors at James Smith in Swanage. Everything was taken care of from bringing the deceased back to her home town, to keeping us informed on the date for cremation, which was arranged to coincide with the church thanksgiving. The staff went above and beyond in the service they provided.
