Whilst not familiar with the OPC for Dorset, I’d imagine the details they showed were extracted from Parish records. The originals are unlikely to show any more details.

Its possible there are grave or memorial inscriptions around, and perhaps Wills or Estate Papers where they are mentioned. Why not contact the OPC or a local Dorset FH group and ask for guidance?

You could try searching on the National Archives site.
