We are so very grateful to Nic and all his wonderful team for their so very kind, thorough, and professional care. They looked after David so beautifully when he passed away, it could not have been done better or with more dignity. Their attention to detail, respect and gentleness at the funeral reflects years of wise and good hearted experience. I am also so moved and indebted to Nic for how he has personally cared so thoughtfully for David's widow Dorothy. Thank you all so very much. Kate and Jonathan

NOH dealt with my Father’s funeral with professionalism throughout. My Father had a pre-paid funeral and NOH explained in full detail what was included so that we could add some extras toe see Dad in a proper fashion. Although a sad event, NOH took much of the worry and concern away.

Many thanks to all at Nicholas Oharas and especially to Rory for organising everything for me at such a terrible time after loosing my partner of 30 years. Everything ran like clockwork, and with the help of Rob Hazell my partner was given the best send off I could have wished for.

    Anthony O'Hara guided us through the process from outset in a sensitive and professional manner. The support was invaluable at such a sad time and with Rob Hazell as Celebrant the service was extremely personal to mum. The silver funeral cars made the day seem extra special. Thank you from Ken & Lesley-Anne.

  • 5 Martin and Wendy Sutherland 22nd May 2019

    I would like to thank you all for your care and help, with my mothers last journey, you made it as painless as possible and were there for any help and support that we needed, I can look back, and although a sad day for me and my family, you made it as good as it could be.

  • 5 Christopher Webb 21st May 2019

    Thank you for all your support. 

  • 5 Ro and Andrew Green 7th May 2019

    We have used your services before, and again you did not let us down. From the start, the care and professionalism was superb. Every detail was covered, communication was prompt and efficient. I never had to worry in case something was not done.
    On the day, again the standard of care was amazing, and the quiet dignity with which we were all treated was so re-assuring.
    The flowers we ordered were beautiful, the service sheets just right, even the music was just as requested. Patricia, always a perfectionist would have been totally satisfied.
    Lastly, Neil McCain led the service in a really appropriate way, he put a lot of work in to preparing it, and and his words were perfect.

    Thank you so much
