Everything was meticulously organised and despite the sad nature of the occasion the family felt we gave my uncle the best possible send off. I cannot recommend Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors enough for easing us through the day with the minimum of fuss. Well done.

Lisa Dennis-Lunn 15th Jun 2018

This has been the most difficult time in my life ever. Losing a child is a heart  wrenching thing a parent goes through, Nicholas O’Hara made this the most loving and joyful experience. Not one thing was too much trouble, the really cared about our family and took our every idea and enhanced it to the full. The love that was felt in the church was a real celebration of his fun filled life. We will never forget how kind they were and even after the funeral contacting us to make sure we are okay .

    The most professional, caring, compassionate people to help us through the most sad and painful time. They held our hands through the whole arrangement process, with nothing being too much trouble. We cannot thank them enough xx

  • 5 Trina Case 28th Apr 2018

    O'Hara's were quite simply the best. Right from the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, comforted and incredibly well looked after. Anthony was amazing (as was everyone there) - nothing was too much trouble and everything was superbly organised. I cannot sing their praises highly enough. Knowing that they had everything under control made a huge difference at what was a very sad and difficult time. My sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone there. 

  • 5 Garry Simpson 24th Apr 2018

    We very much appreciated the excellent service provided by O'Hara's which made a difficult day a little more bearable. Their professional and calm manner guided us through the preparations, was most reassuring on the day and helped us to give mum a befitting send-off.   O’Hara Funeral Directors were recommended to us and that recommendation was very well deserved.

    Nicolas O'Hara went over and beyond in the service and support that they gave us as a family during this very difficult time. Phillip was a great support and the day went really well. I cannot recommend Nicolas O'Hara's enough if you find yourself in the devastating place where you need to make funeral arrangements for a loved one. VERY professional yet personal too.

  • 5 Jacqueline Chissell 20th Apr 2018

    Never fails. Nick is such a caring person and has an amazing team. We were made to feel like personal friends of the family from beginning to end. I would never think of asking anybody else to handle such an event in future. Thank you everyone - you made an extremely difficult time a little bit easier 

  • 5 Karen Robb 13th Apr 2018

    We really couldn’t have asked for a more professional and caring service than that which we received from everbody we came into contact with at Nicholas O’Hara. From our very first meeting with Chris to discuss what we’d like to do for Dad’s service, right through to picking up his ashes a couple of days later, we were treated with genuine kindness and care; nothing was too much trouble and the service that they/we put together for Dad went beautifully thanks to the efficiency and professionalism of all of the team at Nicholas O’Hara. Thank you all so much again for all you did for us at such a difficult time and also for the lovely little memory cards that you gave to us at the end of the service. We highly, highly, highly recommend this company; you will be in very safe and caring hands during what is obviously a very difficult time.

  • 5 Nigel Tokely 10th Apr 2018

    Nick O'Hara his family and staff made a very difficult time for our family go smoothly and as well as we could have wished for. The professionalism and caring made us feel very special and I cannot speak highly enough of every aspect of there service .

  • 5 Neil Smart 5th Apr 2018

    Philip was very helpful and caring as we made all the arrangements for Dad's service.

  • 5 Jonathan Perrett 11th Mar 2018

    Excellent. For me, informal and listened all the time to what I wanted - but with suggestions based on experience.
    10/10.

  • 5 Henio Firley 10th Mar 2018

    It was an emotional day.

    Hard to balance all the feelings of loosing a loved one , but although deeply sad at our families loss , the celebration of my mothers life was judged so well , we all left uplifted.

    I felt so pleased with my mothers special day organised by all at O'Hara.


    There were several unrequested comments that left me feeling that we had done the right thing,'' That was the nicest  I've ever been to '' !!

    Thanks Chris , Philip and everyone.

  • 5 Susan Pulford 5th Mar 2018

    I am very pleased with Nicholas O’Hara Funeral Directors. They offered and delivered excellent service.

    The weather on the day was dreadful but they still carried on regardless as one would expect from a company of their standing.

    Excellent Five Star Service.

  • 5 Teresa Fisher 3rd Mar 2018

  • 5 Patricia Eaton 3rd Mar 2018

    I can't praise Nick and his team enough they were so caring from the very first contact.

  • 5 Ann Humphreys 2nd Mar 2018

    Very supportive. friendly and a complete professional service with just the right degree of support; not intrusive or overbearing. I would heartily recommend this company to anyone in this sad process.

  • 5 Jacky Albrow 27th Feb 2018

    Extremely professional service. No question or request too much trouble. Thoroughly explained procedure and treated us with utmost respect. Little touches such as a particular picture chosen for coffin lid, based on information learnt on first family meeting, as well as ‘keepsake cards’ for members of family as a remembrance of loved one.
    The whole team are to be recommended as kind, caring and considerate. With our grateful thanks.

  • 5 Ronald Waugh 20th Feb 2018

    The attention we received from Anthony O'Hara and his team was of the highest order. Their personal touch throughout was greatly appreciated by all the family. The funeral service was taken by Chris Antell who made it very special. We are very grateful to them for helping us through a difficult, sad time.

  • 5 Rob Francis 20th Feb 2018

    I found Nicholas O'Hara helpful, caring and compassionate from our first meeting to the funeral itself, and beyond.

    No question was unanswered, they kept in touch every step of the way and provided an excellent service.

    Our main contact, Chris Johnson, handled everything superbly and the other members of the team that we dealt with, when Chris was unavailable, dealt with us efficiently and with compassion.

  • 5 Jane and Les Popperwell 16th Feb 2018

    It was just over a year ago we used Nicolas O Hara's for our dad. They handled the loss of our Mum with much sympathy and kindness. Organisation was wonderful, and Chris Antell managed to capture the spirit and personality of mum perfectly during the service. They are such a lovely team of people and so easy to deal with, making this sad time for us all much easier. We did not have a lot of time or organise everything, but the team were amazing, really really helpful.
