Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home and Woodland Burial Ground

We attended the Mother’s Day commemorative service on Sunday 15th March 2026. The service was led by Jon Miles and the whole experience was excellent and very professional and also very touching. The staff from car park attendants to catering staff were absolutely fantastic - the content of the service from the songs and poems was very heartfelt and sincere and made our day, which was always going to be sad, a lot brighter and positive. Just wanted to say thank you and highlight what a wonderful service delivered today.

My wife (Fiona) wished for a woodland burial and as soon as my sons and I visited Harbour View, we knew this was the right place. Charlie looked after everything for me, guiding me through the process and the decisions that needed to be made at a time when decisions are very difficult to make. Sarah was our Celebrant and she quickly understood Fionas’s character and spoke beautifully about her in the service whilst supporting the rest of us. On the day of the funeral, the staff took care of everything and looked after us and our guests wonderfully. I would highly recommend Harbour View Crematorium.

Harbour View Crematorium sits in a peaceful location overlooking the Purbeck Hills and harbour. The care and support our family received from the team at Harbour View was coordinated by Jon Miles. Jon was professional, sensitive and respectful through out. We used the in-house florists who listened to our wishes and created a beautiful arrangement. All the staff were friendly and attentive including the car park stewards that greeted everyone on arrival to the catering staff that served a delicious cream tea after the service. Ellie Lomas, celebrant, conducted the service. Her level of efficiency alongside an empathetic and human manner was very much appreciated at a difficult time. Thank you.

From the first time I visited Long Barrow, Harbour View Crematorium I knew that this is where my dear wifes funeral should be. The surroundings were lovely, calm, and peaceful. Losing a loved one is never easy but the care and support we recieved from the moment we walked through the doors, the staff were compassionate, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping us honour Helen's life with dignity and respect. They handled every detail with professionalism and kindness, ensuring that the service reflected who she was. The atmosphere was peaceful and comforting and many of our guests commented on how beautiful everything was arranged. We are deeply grateful to Laura Murray and Ellie Lomas, who conducted the service and guided us with such grace through one of the hardest moments in our lives. Their compassion will not be forgotten. Thank you for helping us say goodbye with love. Also a big thank you to the catering staff for supplying light refreshments in the Purbeck tea room - Gerry

Harbour View Crematorium is the most beautiful place, staff were so kind & caring,they gave my mother the most lovely service. The only thing we can fault, was the coffee they serve before the service! it was not very nice, it would be much nicer if there was a coffee machine, serving fresh hot coffee, maybe with a few biscuits....I'm sure ,after maybe a long journey, customers would be most grateful.
