Although Brian's funeral was a quiet, private cremation, we knew exactly what we wanted. Chris Johnson was impeccable in making our wishes come true. He listened carefully to our requests and added little touches that we hadn't even thought about - a picture of a ballroom dancing couple on the plate on his coffin, for example. All the way through the arrangements Chris was quietly respectful and never made us feel rushed or that it was just a job to him. We were also shown around the facilities and were impressed with the company's openness. You only get one chance to arrange a person's funeral and we have absolutely no regrets in choosing Nicholas O'Hara Funeral directors.

  • 5 Valerie Bright 10th Dec 2017

    The service for my Father was beautifully led by O'Hara's. We were so looked after at this sad time and everything went so well. People who attended thought Chris Antell was a member of our family as he spoke about my Father during the Eulogy. Thank you Nick from the bottom of my heart for looking after Mum. Also the touch of putting the QE2 on his coffin and plaque was so special. Thank you seems so inadequate, but a big thank you to you and all your staff.

  • 5 Alison Mawhood 8th Dec 2017

    Everyone we dealt with was totally professional and appropriate - easy to relate to; supportive and compassionate without being presumptive or overbearing. Nothing was too much trouble and every aspect was exactly as we hoped.

  • 5 Steve Shearing 2nd Dec 2017

    Excellent service and personal attention with all aspects of the funeral. 

  • 5 Marion Cook 27th Nov 2017

    Through the whole process we were given the best service. Always there to listen, guiding us through and giving such attention to detail.  Special thanks to the pall bearers, who managed a difficult walk to the graveside and for the one who had to deal with a scratch from a bramble! 

  • 5 Dawn Sheppard 24th Nov 2017

    Very professional and compassionate nothing was to much trouble they helped in what was a very traumatic time for me and my family, highly recommend their services.

  • 5 Carlos Da Silva 15th Nov 2017

    Hi,

    Carole and I would just like to say thank to you all especially Chris for all his help. As you are aware this was a difficult time for all of us.

    Chris was particularly helpful for answering all of our questions and telling us on the day what was going to happen and what we had to do. This was really important to us as you only get one chance at it and it all went very well.

    Thanks again,

    Carole and Carlos Da Silva

    Very caring and considerate service.

  • 5 John Utting 31st Oct 2017

    I am most grateful for the excellent service I have received from Nicolas O'Hara in general, and particularly Philip Evans for the wonderful support he has offered me throughout the making, and carrying out of the funeral arrangements for my dear wife Pam.  I had been told previously that Nicolas O'Hara go above and beyond what would normally be expected of an efficient firm of undertakers, and I have no hesitation in confirming that I have found that be a fact.  

  • 5 Wendy Baker 31st Oct 2017

    The service received from  Nicholas O'Hara's was excellent. This is usually a difficult time, but for us as a family to loose both parents within the space of 3 weeks was unprecedented. Anthony and the whole team made the process so much easier to bear. We can't thank them enough.

  • 5 Carol Hinves 24th Oct 2017

    We couldn't have been in better hands. O'Hara's guided us through this difficult time with support, respect, and understanding. The whole business was conducted with compassion and we knew Paul was in safe hands. They went out of their way to source a particular casket at the last minute and made sure it arrived in time. Everything ran like clockwork and although Anthony kept a low profile at the service we felt confident he had our back for support and knew he would step in if required. But it was the little personal touches that were appreciated and made the day very memorable for us in a positive way.
    A forward thinking practice not only bringing the service up to date by offering internet links to coordinate the arrangements, log attendees and collect donations but they also offer bereavement counselling.

  • 5 Wendy Parfett 23rd Oct 2017

    I can’t thank you enough for the very kind and friendly way you cared for me and my family at this sad time. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you

  • 5 Susan Dickson 6th Oct 2017

    Couldn't have asked for better - caring and considerate from the first phone call onwards. Lovely people who made the whole process so much easier.

  • 5 Graham Walbrin 5th Oct 2017

    From the first middle of the night phone call,through all the arrangements , the funeral service and the after care support. The care,compassion and efficiency have all  been of the highest  standard. The attention to,detail allowed the service to run like clockwork and relieved myself and my family of any worries through such a difficult time.
    The service supplied to my family in their time of need was excellent and I would not hesitate in recommending them.

  • 5 Natasha Hunt 18th Sep 2017

    My Dad very sadly passed away on 22nd August, 2017. I cannot express enough just how amazing everyone from Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors have been throughout such a sad and difficult time. It was so reassuring to know that my Dad was looked after with such respect and care and the support and compassion given to myself and my family has been so comforting. I am truly grateful that we had you all alongside us at this time and thank you doesn't seem enough for all you have done. Anyone using Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors can guarantee the most heartfelt, professional and comforting service from a family run company.
