When my dear husband died, I had no one that I could ask to help me. I was terminally ill myself, so travelling to register his death and making all the plans was simply too much for me. Ursula visited me at my home and with great gentleness guided me through the funeral plans. She registered the death, placed a notice in the local paper, met with the funeral directors and even booked the caterers. On the day of the funeral, she was by my side the whole time. I do not know how I would have coped without her. Anna Pricia (June 2014).
Translated from Croatian: Ursula was invaluable to us when our dear sister passed away. We lived in Zagreb and we did not speak English. She took over all of the arrangements, even planning our accommodation when we visited Dorset. The legalities for the grave ownership and the placement of the headstones was all handled by a solicitor which she appointed and everything was done very professionally and promptly. I was particularly impressed with the detail which Dorset Funeral Planning gave to my sister's service. The music was chosen to reflect her background with the Croatian Rhapsody playing as she entered the chapel. Every detail was seen to and I cannot thank Ursula and her team enough for making such a difficult situation so much easier. Marko Kesich (November 2014).
Thank you from all of us for the advice and excellent service you and your team provided. It was especially difficult for our family as we were not able to oversee the process, but you followed my brother's wishes exactly as he had requested, and for that I am eternally grateful. The Peterson family, Sydney Australia (May 2015).
What we will remember the most from Margaret's funeral was your reminder to savour our last moments with her. In the midst of all the grief, with people to meet and see, it is so easy for the day to flash by. But with Ursula's gentle guidance we shared some precious time as a family, alone for the final time with my beloved wife, and mother to our 4 children. Thank you for that. JM McAllistair (October 2015).
I cannot thank you enough for the kindness and gentleness shown in your handling of my brother’s passing. I honestly do no know how I would have coped without your guidance and steady hands. Everything was just as Lloyd would have wanted and the poem you wrote for our walk to his grave was particularly moving. You have a gift and I will be forever grateful that you were recommended to me. Dorset Funeral Planning is an essential partner to have with a funeral directors. Thank you so very much for being there. Julian Heap (March 2023).
