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 Celebration of Life is not just a farewell, it’s a chance to honour the person they were, the memories they made, and the love they leave behind.

At Harbour View, we support families in creating meaningful, personal gatherings that reflect a life well lived. Whether it’s a quiet moment in the meadow or a gathering with shared stories and music, each service is shaped with care, time, and respect, surrounded by the natural beauty of our grounds.

🕯️ Remembrance Day – 11.11 🕯️

Today, we mark Remembrance Day with solemn reflection and gratitude for all those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We were honoured to gather for our Remembrance Service on Sunday 9th November at Harbour View, Long Barrow Ceremony Hall, where our community came together to pay tribute and remember.

Lest we forget. 🌺

The Tapper family has been supporting families across Dorset since 1904; a legacy built on trust, compassion, and quiet dedication.

What began as a local family-run funeral service has grown into something deeply rooted in the community, yet ever evolving to meet the needs of today.

Harbour View is a natural extension of that journey, combining respect for tradition with a forward-thinking approach to funeral care. Set in the heart of the Dorset countryside, Harbour View represents not just a place of rest, but a thoughtful reimagining of what remembrance can look like: environmentally conscious, personal, and centred on people.

At Harbour View, care goes beyond the day of the funeral.

It’s found in every detail from the way we guide families with compassion, to the way we care for the environment, and the community that grows here.

It was a chance to connect, share stories, and enjoy a light-hearted activity in a supportive environment. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night meaningful.

Your presence and spirit truly made a difference.

We look forward to continuing these moments of connection and support in the future.

Plan ahead with clarity, care and confidence.

If you’re thinking about the future, a pre-paid funeral plan that includes direct cremation can offer real peace of mind. It allows you to put your wishes in place in advance whilst removing uncertainty for your family and ensuring everything is taken care of, exactly as you’d like.

Your loved ones are then free to plan any extra gathering or celebration they feel is right, without the pressure of decision-making at an emotional time.

Our team is here to guide you through your options, with no pressure, just open conversation and compassionate support.

Call us to speak with a member of our team on 01202 630111 or click the link to learn more about direct cremation and funeral planning: https://bit.ly/4ooAYcD
