  • Myself and my mother think that choosing Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial Ground was the best choice we have made... We wanted my father to be buried in a beautiful place that we could visit regularly, and be happy he was there, and in truth, enjoy visiting him... It's not easy finding a place like this, but we found exactly that at Poole & Wimborne Woodland Buriel Ground... We go there all the time, and we both find it a beautiful and peaceful place to spend our time remembering my father, and of course mum remembering her husband... This place brings us so much happiness, there are so many benches to sit on for my 86 year old mother, and being set in a nature reserve we love walking about... The team were absolutely brilliant arranging everything, and Janice gave the most perfect service... We are so happy with it we have even booked our plots right next to my Dad... what more can we say...

  • Helpful and understanding when making arrangements of course, but told us we could wait to pay until our Mother's death in service came through, then when it took longer than expected set the debt collectors on us

  • From the first minute of enquiry through the service and after items, Richard and his team were fantastic. He took all concerns and control of the process as well as giving guidance. Calm reassurance and information, the service was as personal as we wished for.

    What our clients say...
