Poole crematorium’s upgrade is praised
Douch Family Funeral Directors
Our number one priority is looking after you. We are a family run company of funeral directors in Dorset.
The recent refurbishment of the Poole Crematorium chapel, regularly utilised by Douch Family Funeral Directors , has been met with widespread acclaim from both funeral directors and families alike. This extensive renovation has transformed the facility into a state-of-the-art venue, aligning it with the needs of the 21st century while maintaining the solemn dignity befitting such a place.
A Modernised Space for Reflection and Remembrance
Nestled on Gravel Hill, the chapel's makeover focuses on creating a comforting and accommodating space for mourners. The interior has been beautifully and sensitively redecorated, providing comfortable seating for over 100 attendees. The addition of a covered area outside caters to those waiting for services, ensuring comfort and shelter.
Accessibility has been a key focus of the refurbishment. The layout and design have been meticulously planned to guarantee that all areas are accessible to wheelchairs, reflecting a deep commitment to inclusivity and respect for all visitors.
Technological Advancements for Personal Tributes
Embracing the digital age, the chapel now boasts modern audio-visual capabilities, including the ability to cast and livestream services. This allows families the option to broadcast the service on the internet, making it accessible to those unable to attend in person. It also enables the creation of bespoke visual tributes, adding a personal touch to the memorial services.

Optimised Facilities and Strategic Location
The location of the chapel, with its excellent vehicle access and ample parking, is particularly appreciated during services with a high number of mourners. The presence of its own bus stop further eases transportation concerns, making it accessible to a wider audience.
The Anticipated Completion: Installation of Cremators
The chapel’s transformation has been widely praised, but there is a keen anticipation for the installation of new cremators. At present, the deceased are transferred with dignity to Bournemouth Crematorium for cremation. The addition of on-site cremators would complete the facility’s offerings, making it a fully comprehensive service.
Praise from Funeral Directors and Families
Malcolm Green of James Smith Funeral Directors, part of the Douch Family Funeral Directors group, has shared glowing feedback regarding the refurbishment. He noted the significant impact of the renovations, praising the comfortable seating, the accessibility considerations, and the advanced technology. Feedback from families has been equally positive, with one mourner recently remarking that it was the best facility she had ever visited.
This sentiment is a testament to the exceptional standard achieved through the refurbishment, highlighting the chapel as a place where memories are cherished and lives are honored with the utmost respect and care. As the Poole Crematorium chapel moves forward into a new era, it stands as a beacon of excellence, embodying the perfect blend of tradition and modernity in the heart of the community.
