Lesley Shand Funeral Service has served Blandford Forum and the surrounding area since 1922, operating from premises at 28 East Street. The branch is part of Douch Family Funeral Directors, an independent, family-owned group that has served Dorset for over 110 years, and is led locally by branch manager Emma Bryon alongside funeral directors Peter Short, Leanne Adimi and Danielle Beechey.
The Blandford Forum branch features a private service chapel holding up to 40 people, suitable for both religious and non-religious ceremonies, along with a private ceremony room available to families at no extra cost, chapels of rest, and off-road parking. Services offered include cremations, non-religious funerals, woodland burials, cemetery burials, and direct or unattended cremation, together with pre-paid funeral plans and personalised, bespoke funeral packages covering flowers, catering and transport.
The branch provides a 24-hour phone line for bereaved families, alongside office hours of 9.30am to 4.30pm for in-person arrangements.
