Whatever kind of send off you have in mind, we will take care of all the necessary preparations to ensure everything goes to plan. You will have the full support of the compassionate team at our Southbourne funeral home throughout, with the funeral arrangers and funeral directors available before, during and after the day, to provide guidance and care.

You can find our funeral home on Southbourne Grove, in a building that has a little bit of history attached to it. It was once a local Post Office, from where, during WWII, American tank personnel would collect their wages. The red post box that remains out the front makes us easy to find, and our location allows us to offer funeral services to families throughout Bournemouth, including those in Ensbury Park and Pokesdown, as well as the adjoining town of Christchurch.
Our Southbourne funeral directors is here for you, when you need us. To arrange your loved one's funeral, call us on 01202 830201 today.
