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.

Flowers have long spoken for us when words fall short.

At Harbour View, our dedicated floristry team specialises in creating thoughtful, bespoke arrangements—from casket tributes to baskets, posies, and personal designs like hearts or cushions. Each tribute is carefully handcrafted, often using locally sourced greenery or ornamental twigs from our grounds, and mindful of recycling plastic components where possible.

If you’d like flowers that reflect beauty, meaning, and respect—and support our commitment to sustainability—please explore our gallery, then reach out to our Harbour View Lytchett Minster florist on 01202 022818 to place an order.

A farewell shouldn’t cost the Earth.

At Harbour View, we believe that every aspect of saying goodbye should honour not only the person but also the planet. That’s why our crematorium and woodland burial ground has been designed with the environment at its heart.

From the trees we plant, to the solar farm powering our facilities, every choice reflects a deeper commitment to sustainability, making Harbour View one of the UK’s most environmentally conscious funeral grounds.

We use biodegradable materials, compost on-site, support local wildlife, and constantly look for ways to reduce our impact. Because caring for people and the planet should go hand in hand.

At Harbour View, our woodland grounds offer more than a final resting place — they are a living landscape where memory and nature meet. With wide horizons, seasonal wildflowers, and carefully tended spaces, every visit offers time to reflect and reconnect.

We are always working to preserve and enrich this environment — from tree planting and composting, to supporting wildlife and using sustainable materials wherever possible.

A place to remember, for today and the future.

Here at Harbour View, our chickens are very much at home.

Our hens contribute to the sustainable life of the land, providing fresh eggs for the catering team to use in cakes and sandwiches. They’re a small but important part of how we care for the environment every day.

In a place focused on reflection and remembrance, these quiet, everyday rhythms are a reminder that life continues.
