Harbour View is set in over 70 acres of peaceful Dorset countryside much of which overlooks Poole Harbour and Purbeck beyond. Harbour View offers a choice of ceremony halls, all with individual character and to suit small or large congregations. We pride ourselves on offering ample time for a funeral to take place at its own pace - never rushed. And, we have tea-rooms on site for the Wake.

This is such a peaceful space surrounded by natural beauty. The Barn, where my Dad's service was held, was modern, light and minimalist. It was perfect for the special send off that we wanted to give him, and the staff at Tapper did an excellent job. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed walking around the grounds afterwards.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Frank and all the wonderful staff at Harbour View. The service provided by Frank was perfect in every way and some great memories of dad and the floral bouquet was exactly how I imagined when I discussed with your lovely lady florist (sorry I have forgotten her name :( . The whole experience was made so much easier by the lovely staff here. Thanks again for a memorable service in such a beautiful setting.
