    Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors were helpful, professional, compassionate and simply brilliant! We cannot thank them enough for helping us to arrange such a personal funeral for my dad. It was such a hard time for us but we knew we were in very capable hands with Chris and the day itself was everything we hoped for. Nothing was too much trouble and we are so grateful. Thank you x

  • 5 Julie White 20th Jun 2017

    Nicholas o'Hara funeral directors handled my dad's funeral very well. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very helpful throughout a difficult time for our family. All staff were lovely, especially Rory who was our primary contact throughout the process. He was very caring and respectful and we could not have asked for anyone better. 

  • 5 Hazel Deamer 19th Jun 2017

    We cannot recommend Nicholas O'Hara highly enough during such a difficult time. A thank you to Philip Evans who guided us through with the utmost care, compassion, professionalism and respect. We were recommended to Neil McCain, Celebrant, who spent time with us to get to know my husband and who wrote and delivered a wonderful tribute, which was also commented on by family and friends.

  • 5 Jean Mortimer 13th Apr 2017

    I cannot recommend Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors highly enough.  The care and respect shown at all times has been exemplorary, nothing was too much trouble.  This is just the kind of help that you need at a very sad time.  I must also say a very big thank you to Chris Antell for the wonderful Service that he conducted at the Crematorium.

  • 5 Ian Warburton 20th Mar 2017

    Professional but also with tenderness for such a sad occasion. Regularly checking that everything was satisfactory and excellent attention to detail.
    Anthony has such a calming voice which can de-stress even the most difficult of situations and comfort the grieving family.

    We would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Philip Blum 27th Dec 2016

    A truly caring company that provided an excellent service 

  • 5 Adrian Elmer 5th Dec 2016

    The loss of our Dad, Peter, was by no means unique, but to us it was. A time of great family sadness and incomparable individual pain. Throughout this whole process it was important to feel we had friends who were dealing with Dad and guiding us through the whole process of his funeral and cremation and then ultimately the interment of his ashes. We were made to feel completely at ease by all the most excellent staff at Nicholas O'Hara, that there was nothing else that mattered but making sure that our Dad's funeral was everything we wanted it to be.

    The standard of professional service we received was of the highest order and perhaps even more important to us at this time, that Dad was in the care of people who cared about him and about the family.

    Thank you to all those at Nicholas O'Hara.

  • 5 Nora Potts 1st Aug 2016

    I was guided through with very well and I with a caring manner

  • 5 Rhona Banks 12th Jun 2016

    Nicholas O'Hara carried out all the funeral arrangements for my Mother with dignity, kindness and thoughtfulness. Everything ran smoothly on the day which helped such a lot. The Order of Service was prepared beautifully and there were several personal touches which meant a lot during a difficult time.

  • 5 Donna Steer 29th May 2016

    Myself and my family have had the most caring and professional support during our difficult time, after the loss of our beloved husband and father. Everyone has been understanding and caring to us.

    We have had everything taken care of with complete competence and confidence. The whole process has been seamless.
    We will be happy to recommend your service to anyone who has lost a love one.

  • 5 S Kirby 26th May 2016

    Nicholas O'Hara were very professional from the moment they attended in the early hours of the morning until they returned our family members to the wake. All The O'Hara staff were respectful and attentive as they guided us through the process with care and consideration.
    The celebrant, Chris Antell, was a lovely man who did Doug proud. We were very pleased with the way he conducted the service and made it a very special and memorable occasion for all. 
    Nicholas O'Hara provided an excellent funeral service. Far more than we could have ever expected. Thank you.

  • 5 Stewart Hindle 12th Apr 2016

    Credit must go to O'Hara's for employing Sue and Chris. They have been so helpful over this difficult period. Sue looked after Margaret prior to the funeral, and nothing was too much trouble for her. Chris took the service for Margaret, at the crematorium. Despite never having met Margaret, his description of her life was spot-on. All of the friends and relatives of Margaret were so impressed.


    The rest of the members of staff worked to the same high standards. The company has a very high standard of care and consideration for its clients and their families.

  • 5 Teresa Woolridge 21st Mar 2016

    Before choosing Nicholas O'hara,I had observed the Company as being a professionally run outfit from their advertising material, quality of their cars, reputation etc. This was subsequently endorsed by our experience of their planning and delivery of the services they provide. The company's recommended Celebrant was the 'icing on the cake' of a very successful event on the day itself. Hopefully we will not need the services of a Funeral Director again for some considerable time but would have no hesitation in using the Company if and when the need arises. Thanks for a job well done.

  • 5 David Humphrey 18th Feb 2016

    Many thanks to all concerned for all that was done to make a sad day go so well.
    The initial advice, the organisation and finally the funeral service itself could not have been bettered and it was all very much appreciated by the family.
