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.

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 ❤️

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.

Funeral review
The efficiency and sensitivity with which our Dad’s funeral was handled was exemplary.
The process from start to finish was smooth and straightforward and any queries we had were answered promptly.
The communications between you, ourselves, the church and minister were timely and appropriate.

My family's and my grateful thanks to…
My family's and my grateful thanks to Elise, funeral director, for her understanding when endeavouring to make the arrangements of where the funeral service for my husband was to be held. Also for her continuing help and assistance throughout the days preceding my husbands funeral and on the day itself. Many who attended the actual church service gave me such lovely comments about it and of the printed, beautiful order of service which had been produced by Elise, and who made sure, my and my family's wishes on the content was honoured. Elise worked with my family and myself to give my late husband the best that there could be in what could and ought to have been a very sad occasion but in the end, and throughout the experience, she was so helpful and understanding and we are so grateful for that.

My brother had the best send off but wasn't allowed to carry his coffin or at the service that was the only issue when told we was meant too but glad it was the best day for him

Antwort von Douch Family Funeral Directors
Dear Tanya, thank you for taking the time to send us the review. We felt privileged to help you and your family at such a very sad time.
We truly recognised how you felt when we discussed that in this instance it was going to be safer not carrying the coffin and appreciated that you understood the reasons. We knew how important & disappointing this was to you so suggested that your family assisted our bearers with bringing your late brother into the ceremony room for the service. This way they still had the opportunity to mark their respect in the best way.
Kind regards. From Adrian and the rest of the team at A E Jolliffe & Son.

Sadly we lost our beautiful daughter in August this year.
As we live in Wimborne our nearest Funeral director was Douch & Small in Leigh Road Wimborne.
We arranged a meeting with them and was welcomed by Amy. From the very start she made us at ease and explained the details of what they could do for us to make things a little easier.
I would like to thank Douch and Small especially Amy as she was so caring, compassionate and thoughtful throughout the whole process. Also would like to thank Martin the celebrant who delivered the service with great compassion and professionalism.
Amy you and Douch made everything that day so much easier for what was the most heartbreaking day.
Thank you Amy and all the Team x
