Good Celebrant provided
The internment was conducted by an excellent celebrant provided by P&W WBG which made the experience less onerous and allowed some individuality in how it was conducted which included clapping in a dignified and respectful manner.

I did not use the burial ground for our…
I did not use the burial ground for our funeral service but just for the burial of ashes. The grounds are lovely and looked even more beautiful on the one day of snow that we had! It feels so peaceful and close to nature there, just what we wanted. I found the staff to be kind, friendly and helpful.

Mum’s funeral
I have been very pleased with the whole service I received from Poole and Wimborne Woodland burial for my Mum. The celebrant they chose for me was excellent too.

What an amazing service and support
What an amazing service and support we were given from Marie at Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial Ground. From our initial meeting to arrange the funeral she helped me and my son enormously in what was such a daunting task. Nothing was too much trouble. She was there for every small detail and all of our worries and concerns were dealt with immediately. All of the family were so pleased. The service on Friday went perfectly. It was a beautiful day in beautiful surroundings. We have pre purchased two ashes plots as we felt this is where we wanted to be in the future. Both me and my son are so grateful for the support and care you gave us Marie. All of the team were helpful and charming. Our very kind wishes to you.

Special day in a lovely setting
Just like to say a big thank you to Marie, Janice, Neil and all other staff involved in helping to make the gathering for our mum a lovely day. They listened to what we wanted and made some suggestions which really helped us. They carried out all our requests, from arranging the music to preparing the room for the small service as we planned. It all helped to make the day a special occasion, in a beautiful setting, which we will always remember.

Poole and Wimborne Burial ground staff…
Poole and Wimborne Burial ground staff were fabulous. Both Natascha and Marie were so kind and very very professional and organised . They made the whole experience seamless and are a credit to the company. Other staff that I met were also absolutely lovely. The service was beautiful. My only comment to the management would be that the inside of the building, particularly the toilets could do with a refurb and the catering was very basic..would have preferred more home made food and much less quantity and would have been happy to pay more for this .

A well organised burial in a beautiful place
From the moment I arrived at the burial ground it was clear that this was where my wife would have wished to be laid to rest. After talking to Marie and Natascha I was certain that they would take all the organisation of the funeral off my hands and leave me to deal with the things which really mattered: music, readings etc. On the day everything ran very smoothly and my wife had a really beautiful send off.

Father's last journey
Right from our first visit the staff were really caring and considerate, even asked if my father had a favourite colour and would we like the bearers to wear a neckerchief of that colour on the day, which they did, was a nice touch. Everything was exactly what we asked for and done with dignity and compassion. And absolutely beautiful surroundings.
