Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home & Woodland Burial Ground

Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home & Woodland Burial Ground Harbour View offers a holistic way to arrange and celebrate a funeral at competitive cost in Dorset.

Outlook Bereavement Support is a service offered by Tapper Funeral Service, the only remaining long-established family owned and run funeral business in Poole, Dorset, UK. Estabished in 1904, Tapper Funeral Service has offices in Bournemouth, Broadstone, Christchurch, Highcliffe, Milford on Sea, New Milton, Poole and Ringwood

As you would expect from a business with over 100 years of service and

experience, we have a range of in-house and partnered services that includes anything and everything to do with the arranging and managing of a funeral, as well as a new service, Bereavement Care. While bereavement care offers no miracle cure, there are ways to help move forward and in itself, understanding your own bereavement helps. We offer:

- advice
- practical assistance
- forums via local get-togethers
- web based resources
- a social environment for like minded people that can be tapped into at anytime now or in the future. We also operate 'Harbour View' in Poole which is no ordinary burial ground or funeral facility. It occupies a position that enjoys a host of wildlife and nature along with dramatic views of the lagoon areas of Poole Harbour, the Purbeck Hills and Corfe Castle. We have installed the very latest equipment at all of our offices, and our interviewing lounges provide an atmosphere of comfort and tranquillity. The staff represent the very best in their individual fields. We strive to offer a service which is personal, helpful, efficient and unobtrusive.

🌿 A Saturday at Harbour View 🌿

While many enjoy a slower pace on a Saturday, our Harbour View team is busy caring for the grounds and the beautiful surroundings that make this place so special.

From keeping our gardens looking their best to harvesting fresh fruit from the orchard, there's always something to do. Along the way, we are reminded of the simple joys nature brings, like discovering a nest of young birds thriving amongst the trees.

These peaceful moments, combined with the care and dedication of our team, help ensure Harbour View remains a welcoming and tranquil place for the families who visit us.

A big thank you to our staff for all they do to keep Harbour View looking beautiful throughout every season. 💚

The recent news and media attention on funeral practices have been a painful reminder of why proper regulation in the funeral sector matters so deeply. Families deserve absolute trust, compassion, and professionalism — every single time.

At Tapper Funeral Service and Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home & Woodland Burial Ground, we stand with the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) in calling for stronger, clearer regulation to protect the public and uphold the integrity of our profession.

High standards, transparency, and accountability should be the norm everywhere — not just in organisations that choose to uphold them. We will continue to champion regulation that ensures every family receives the care, dignity, and professionalism they deserve.

We remain resolute in the commitment to our values, and to the families who rely on us and to the families that we serve.

If anyone wishes to talk with us or seek reassurance, we are here.

🌸 Floral tributes in full bloom at Harbour View 🌿

We’re delighted to share a glimpse of some of the beautiful floral tributes created using flowers grown right here on site at Harbour View. Each arrangement celebrates the natural beauty of our surroundings and reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

By cultivating and using our own flowers, we’re reducing environmental impact and embracing a more eco‑friendly approach to remembrance — one that honours both loved ones and the landscape we care for.

It’s a growing effort (quite literally!) to ensure our tributes remain in harmony with nature and our environmentally conscious ethos.

💚 Thoughtful, sustainable, and beautifully local — just as they should be.
