Douch Family Funeral Directors, Dorset

Founded by Frederick Charles Douch in Wimborne in 1910, Douch Family Funeral Directors has a long history of arranging professional and dignified funerals in Dorset. Today, the family run business is overseen by Frederick’s grandson, Peter and his son, Nick.

Over the years, the Douch family has developed strong relationships with other likeminded family funeral directors in Dorset. The business’ directors believe there’s something special about family-led businesses – that they offer a warmth and stability you don’t always find elsewhere.

That’s why the Douch family loves to bring other family businesses into the fold, continuing each unique tradition and providing decades of local experience when it is needed most.

All of Douch Family Funeral Directors’ branches are independently managed. Some of them have been providing funeral services since the 1800s and have a long established history within their communities. Their independent branches now cover East and North Dorset, Poole, Wareham and the Isle of Purbeck. The team is highly experienced in offering support with arranging funerals and local families have been relying on their services for hundreds of years.

Through its Funeral Plan, supported by Ecclesiastical Planning Services, Douch Family Funeral Directors provides a personalised solution that enables plan holders to choose which type of funeral they’d like, rather than loved ones having to guess. It’s easy to make payments for the plan now, reducing the worry for those left behind later on. Douch Family Funeral Directors offer a choice of accessible funeral payment plans and they can also create bespoke pre-paid funeral plans to suit individual priorities.
