Thoughtful, caring, understanding, attention to detail. During an incredibly difficult time they were always available to support, organise and reassure which takes a weight off your mind.

  • 5 Jane Fox 18th Sep 2020

    Excellent, personalised service through all aspects of planning and conducting the funeral, several of the mourners commented on the professionalism of the team from O’Hara’s and Anthony was again very supportive. I wouldn’t consider using any other funeral service

  • 5 Stephen Dicker 12th Sep 2020

  • 4 Daphne Gibson 11th Sep 2020

    it would have been excellent if it wasnt for the slide show saga,but thanks to Chris we were able to show them at the wake.

  • 5 Sharon Morris 6th Sep 2020

    We cannot recommend Nicholas O’Hara Funeral Directors enough.  Throughout the whole experience we were treated with respect and in such a caring way. It was so reassuring to always feel we were in a safe pair of hands.  Everything was handled with such decorum and attention to detail. My family and I are so grateful to Rory, Chris, Nicky and team for helping to give Dad such a splendid send off.

  • 5 Ray & Jenny West 31st Aug 2020

    Everything to do with the funeral was carried out in an extremely efficient manner and any worries that I had prior to the funeral were dealt with and I would not have a moments hesitation in recommending this Company.

  • 5 Laurence Blake 14th Aug 2020

    Thoroughly professional service, caring and compassionate staff, made a very difficult time easier for all the family.

  • 5 Janet Butler 28th Jul 2020

    Anthony, Chris and team were professional, kind and ensured the whole process from start to finish was in accordance with our wishes and ran smoothly. 

    I have no hesitation in recommending them, we are fortunate in East Dorset to have their services. 

    Thank you

  • 5 Warwick and Meg HOWE 23rd Jul 2020

    We were very impressed with the friendly yet professional attitude of everyone at the company including Neil the Celebrant. We had already used O'Hara's for Joyce's husband Peter three years ago and it was lovely to have the consistency.
    No question was too much trouble and responses were very quick and thorough which is important at difficult times.
    So thank you very much to Rory and his team for all of their help and advice.
    Warwick and Meg
    ps - on a lighter note Meg was really impressed the Silver Hearse!!

  • 5 Tristan McMillan 30th Jun 2020

    Chris and Nicky were both excellent at helping us through what is a terrible time.  Chris organised everything with ease and the funeral ran perfectly.  When we needed a personal item returning within an hour he was able to accommodate immediately and get it to us. I submitted photos and music for the funeral late, and he was still able to get it sorted with the crematorium audio visual company.  Most importantly the chaps that came to collect my Dad were super kind and respectful on that terrible day.  We have used them twice now and in short I’d definitely recommend this funeral director.  

  • 5 Sam & Tony Browne 13th Jun 2020

    No hesitation in recommending this company.  They bring an exceptional service, support and kindness at a difficult time. 

  • 5 Albert Lidbury 5th Jun 2020

  • 5 Pamela Galton 22nd May 2020

    I wouldn’t have wanted anybody else to look after Brian  especially in these strange times.
    An excellent example of compassion and professionalism at all times.

  • 5 Sandra Waterman 19th May 2020

    Our utmost gratitude to Anthony and his family from receiving the initial phone call to the final arrangement's at the end of the Crematorium Service for dear Mum last Thursday. Excellent professional service second to none, so caring, with genuine kindness and compassion shown throughout, nothing was too much trouble. Also need to thank Martin Hiles our wonderful Celebrant for his much patience and work in the preparation of delivering a very special and heart warming service we wanted it to be. Thank you to you all for everything at Nicholas O'Hara for making a sad time a memorable day, Sandra, Steve, Sue, Pete, Gary, Kevin and Denise.

  • 5 Kathy Reeves 10th May 2020

    The O’Hara’s provided an excellent service throughout the process. Made it extremely easy to arrange. They handled the whole situation with  care,  sensitivity as well as going above and beyond to give our beloved one the send off they deserved under these difficult circumstances. Our family is very grateful for this. 

  • 5 Pat Lowrie 7th May 2020

    It was beautifully organised

  • 5 Catherine Lane 7th May 2020

    Nicolas O’Haras have organised two funerals for me, one for my Dad and more recently one for my Step Mum. With 9 years between them the service for both was exemplary. Anthony made the whole process so easy to navigate at such a hard time. 

  • 5 Izabelle Bridger 25th Apr 2020

    In a difficult and unsettling time in any family's life, Anthony and his team took considerate care, dealt with everything quickly and made what would be a hard task extremely easy. They looked after my Dad with compassion and dignity and took away the burden of any stress and worry during what is a very unique period in time at them moment.

    Thank you to your family, from ours.
