The Lesley Shand story: a commitment to Corfe Mullen and Blandford that goes beyond funerals
When Douch Family Funeral Directors, one of Dorset’s most established independent funeral directors, opened its Lesley Shand branch in Blandford in 2015 and completely rebuilt the Lesley Shand branch in Corfe Mullen in 2018, it was a statement of intent. A fourth generation family business investing in the communities it serves for the long term.
As members of both the National Association of Funeral Directors and Selected Independent Funeral Homes, Douch Family Funeral Directors holds itself to the highest standards of care, transparency and service.
Membership of Selected Independent Funeral Homes is not simply a badge. It is earned. Only funeral directors who demonstrate genuine excellence in care and service are accepted, and maintaining that membership requires those standards to be upheld every single day.
Both Lesley Shand funeral service branches offer Ceremony Rooms available not just for funeral services, but for the wider community to use. It is a reflection of something that runs through everything Douch Family Funeral Directors does. Being genuinely rooted in the towns and communities it serves across Dorset.
Being rooted in these towns matters to us and we work hard to reflect that. Our Ceremony Rooms are there for families arranging funeral services but also for the wider community to use.
