Anthony Burbidge 25th May 2021

Excellent support from start to finish by this friendly family firm.  The funeral could not have gone any better and they looked after all the small details making it a perfect and fitting day for our mum. Thanks to all the team and particularly Anthony who helped us through the process and day.

Everyone at Nicholas O'Hara have been so professional, kind and sensitive throughout. They have helped to ensure that this very difficult time has been handled down to the smallest detail and helped to provide a very special send off for my dad.

    The service provided by Jon and the O’Hara team was so friendly and professional - it made the whole process so much easier to cope with. 

  • 5 Sally Blythe 16th May 2021

    I can’t thank Rory enough. He has been so kind and helpful with arranging all the details for John’s service. He has also been a great link between the Rector of the Minster and myself and ensuring everything ran smoothly.

  • 5 Karen Naylor 11th May 2021

    Excellent service. 2 nd to none . Well organised and professional service. 

  • 5 Jacqueline Shanahan 2nd May 2021

    Excellent service
    Very professional 

  • 5 John Spatchet 27th Apr 2021

    The service received was both highly professional and friendly. The funeral was conducted with reverence but yet not pompous or unduly solemn. We particularly liked the use of blue suits and silver vehicles. We have always had high regard for the company and current experience underlined why.

  • 5 Linda Ivatts 20th Apr 2021

    Wonderful first class service from everyone involved in the planning and preparation of my father's funeral. With a special mention for Philip. Thank you for your calming support and superb expertise on making this service absolutely perfect.

  • 5 Robert Griffiths 19th Apr 2021

    Wonderfully kind and very professional. Philip was a constant source of guidance and help and very caring. The whole team worked seamlessly to provide a lovely send-off to our late mother.

  • 5 Josephine Potts 26th Mar 2021

    From first contact to the cremation the service was seamless.  Rory was very professional, he has a lovely manner and made me feel that he was holding my hand throughout the whole process.  I would happily recommend them.

  • 5 Robert Hucklesby 24th Mar 2021

    Very pleased with how things were coordinated. Rory looked after us every step of the way - offering good suggestions but never imposing.
    We like O'Hara because it feels like their family acts as our family. They set the right balance between professionalism and natural warmth.
    O'Hara have been there for us on three separate occasions and we know that we don't have to worry about a thing.

  • 5 Alison Lee 23rd Mar 2021

    The family was very pleased with the professional manner that my my mother’s funeral was conducted and your sympathetic manner throughout. Thank you.

  • 5 Jackie Willis 21st Mar 2021

    Many thanks to everyone at O'Hara's funeral services, who made a sad time something special to remember despite the restrictions currently in place. Heartfelt thanks especially to Chris Antell, who brought to life our family experiences and memories for all who knew him.

  • 5 Susan Howshall 20th Mar 2021

    this the second time in 8 weeks we have had to use the funeral service. Both occasions were excellently managed . This time we felt we were really cared for and known. it was like receiving a big virtual hug.

  • 5 Margaret Hill 13th Mar 2021

    I couldn’t have wished for more consideration or help.
    All staff were lovely and so kind. 

    Thank you.
    Margaret.

  • 5 Michael Wright 12th Mar 2021



    Philip handled the situation and arrangements after Mum passed away with excellence, especially in such a difficult time with Covid. I cannot thank him enough for the compassion he showed throughout, which made a difficult time easier.

  • 5 Terry Hayden 10th Mar 2021

    Fantastic caring services. Thankyou

  • 5 Daniel Goulding 9th Mar 2021

    Philip handled every aspect of the funeral arrangements professionally and in a timely manner.

  • 5 Geoff Ashton 4th Mar 2021

    On behalf of Joan’s family and friends, we would like to pass on our sincerest thanks to all the members of the O’Hara’s team.

    Given the current restrictions on such gatherings, we were very pleased to have an appropriate service to mark her passing, with a very fitting selection of words and music. The visual tribute was particularly well produced, as was the order of service. The addition of the webcast was also much appreciated by those unable or too concerned to be present.

    Rory’s guidance and support throughout enabled us to complete all the arrangements in a timely and considered manner, for which we were especially grateful.

    Please be assured that you exceeded our expectations in such difficult circumstances.

    Thank you all.

    Sincerely yours,

    Geoff Ashton and family

  • 5 John Constable 1st Mar 2021

    We thought the organisation of the funeral was excellent and the celebrant was first class. The presentation of the service sheets were well layed out and the service flowed well.

  • 4 Jacqui Booth 1st Mar 2021

    Everything about NOH oozes quality, compassion, knowledge and experience. They are very organised and professional.

  • 5 Janet Tiller 28th Feb 2021

    Having used O’Haras twice before since 2016 I knew that there was only one choice for my husband’s funeral. Within all the current restrictions we received a first class service and knew that all his wishes would be fulfilled. Nothing was to much trouble and the day was calm and perfect. Thank you so much for your care love and attention. Team Tiller (Jan, James and Tom)

  • 5 Margaret Currie 27th Feb 2021

    Every care was taken to ensure Gene's wishes were carried out. The organisation was brilliant. All tasks completed with respect and dignity. Ensuring O'Hara got it right was paramount. All the team were exemplary. Thank you for making a difficult situation easier with care and consideration.
