Yes, our Christchurch funeral home on Bargates is here to support families across Highcliffe, Mudeford, Tuckton, Purewell, Somerford, and the wider Christchurch area. Wherever you are in the local area, our team will come to you and guide you through every step at whatever pace feels right for your family.
We have experience arranging funerals of all kinds, whether you would like a traditional service at a local church such as The Priory or St Joseph's, a civil or humanist ceremony, or something entirely personal and non-religious. Our team will listen carefully to what matters most to your family and help you shape a farewell that feels true to the person who has died.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and our team will come to you, wherever the person has died, to bring them into our care. Once we are with you, we will explain the paperwork and next steps clearly, including registering the death, so that nothing feels overwhelming during what is an incredibly difficult time.
Yes, our chapel of rest on Bargates gives families a quiet, private space to visit and spend time with the person who has died, which many families find to be an important part of saying goodbye. If you are travelling to see us, there is on-street parking directly outside the funeral home, which is free for up to one hour, though please do contact us in advance regarding accessibility needs as our premises currently do not have full wheelchair access.
We work with Bournemouth Crematorium and New Forest Crematorium, and our team will help you choose whichever feels most fitting for your family. On the day itself, we take care of every detail, from the journey to the crematorium to ensuring the service reflects the person who has died, so that you and your loved ones can focus entirely on being together.
