  • 5 Clair Anderson 8th Aug 2016

    From the very first phone call I felt totally at ease and comfortable. Whilst everything was handled in a very efficient way it was also handled extremely sympathically for which I was extremely grateful. All worries concerning the funeral arrangements were taken out of my hands and this carried right the way through the actual funeral itself. Regular contact was made with me to ensure that everything was in line with my requests. I cannot praise all the staff at Nicolas O'Hara enough. When my Dad died I was left completely numb and they immediated stepped in and made the whole process proceed extremely smoothly.

  • 5 Christina Peacock 24th Jul 2016

    A great support at a very difficult time. Friendly and professional, very considerate to family wishes

  • 5 Helen Brennan 20th Jul 2016

    First Class service from beginning to end. Chris was amazing and the way we were treated during such a very difficult time was sensitive compassionate and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and their motto "our family are there for your family" could not be more true. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be treated as a name and not just a number. Little extra things they did made a huge difference and made u realise that they really care about what they do.

  • 5 Marlene Roberts 18th Jul 2016

    Everything was done so smoothly even down to making the initial contact with the Canon who took the service. They offer such a professional service, but also manage to make it very personal at the same time.

  • 5 Adrian Henshaw 7th Jul 2016

    Extremely caring service, made it just that bit easier to bear

  • 5 Sylvia Walpole 4th Jul 2016

    Everything was absolutely perfect and all our wishes were carried out in an exceptional manner.  Thank you very much to everyone concerned.  Sylvia, Neil and Kirsty Walpole. 

  • 5 Nicholas Love 22nd Jun 2016

    We were able to celebrate Dad's life in a very personal way which was so important to us and we couldn't have done that without the support Anthony, Chris and all the team at Nicholas O'Hara. In a very emotional time they became part of the family and no question or request was too much trouble.

  • 5 Daniel Ferguson 11th Jun 2016

    My two sons and I were most impressed by the way Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors Ltd responded quickly to the initial telephone call, communicated regularly and handled the funeral arrangements in an efficient and sympathetic manner. The leader of the service at the Poole Crematorium was of great support to us and could easily have been part of the family. We can definitely recommend this company.

  • 5 Ann Morgan 31st May 2016

    The help, compassion and attention to detail received during the preparation and planning of Roger's funeral was second to none, really excellent.  The detail and professionalism on the day of the funeral was fantastic and we knew that the day would proceed seamlessly as a result of the attention to detail shown by Kerry at all times, Kerry was excellent and we would recommend the services of Nicholas O'Hara funeral directors to anyone needing such a service.

    Many thanks
    Ann Morgan

  • 5 Rick Legg 3rd May 2016

    Nicholas O'Hara  made the whole funeral process as painless as possible. 
    Friendly,  sympathetic,  yet utterly professional at all times. 
    Nothing was too much trouble.
    The service went very well and many guests were very complimentary,  especially impressed with the warmth and kind words from Chris the celebrant  !. A beautiful send off for our mum.

  • 5 Lesley Dorber 2nd May 2016

    Made organising a funeral long distance easy. Very professional, personal and supportive including phone calls checking that I was OK & didn't have any questions & assuring me all was done their end. All ran very smoothly on the day, a friendly & caring staff. The funeral celebrant was excellent, made it a very personal service & you wouldn't have known that he didn't know the deceased. 
    A sad occasion made bearable.

  • 5 Susan Robins 18th Apr 2016

    Thank you for all your kindness, consideration, help with all the arrangements. I have also received many good comments from family and friends. Guy would have approved on the efficiency
    Regards

  • 5 Lee Baker 17th Apr 2016

    I cannot fault anything about this very professionally run company. Chris who dealt with my Grandfsthers funeral was an absolute star who made the whole process so easy. I would recommend O'Hara to anyone who wishes the best for a deceased relative. Thank you for making something so sad a positive ending. 

  • 5 Vanessa Sheppard 11th Apr 2016

    You could not do any more for our mum . You and your staff are under standing at such a hard time, and nothing is to much trouble . So I say thank you all very much vanessa sheppard.

  • 5 Julia Palmer 4th Apr 2016

    Excellent service throughout, thank you

  • 5 Martin Wood 3rd Apr 2016

    We just want to say thank you so much for making everything run so smoothly on what was a very sad day in your hands we had no worries. All of your staff were incredibly supportive and caring we wish there was a higher rating than excellent.

  • 5 Stewart Waldridge 22nd Mar 2016

    Nick and his team could not have been kinder with organising and preparing us all for mums funeral. She was treated with the dignity and send off she thoroughly deserved. Although it was a difficult time we were treated with nothing but kindness, patience and thorough professionalism from start to finish and beyond. We all feel she would have been proud of her send off as she was with dear dads almost six years ago.Thank you

  • 5 Sharon Stanbrook 21st Mar 2016

    Kerry was our funeral director who was totally amazing . She treated my daughter with the utmost respect and went out of her way to help us in any way she could . I can highly recommend Kerry and should I pass in the near future I want to be taken to Nicolas Ohara even though I live in Kent .

  • 5 Gail Powell 16th Mar 2016

    The O'Hara "Our family is here for your family" motto could not be more appropriate. When we suffer a loss to experience such warm, professional support is truly appreciated. All those with whom we were in contact felt just like an extension to our family during a period that can so often be a cold, isolated experience. Aunt Margaret's service was a joyous occasion, as was our Mothers', less than a year ago - O'Hara's staff are "gifted"

  • 5 Lyn Mycroft 16th Feb 2016

    My choice of O'Haras was initially because they were the only ones to answer the phone, personally, rather than a machine, on a Saturday evening, when my mother had passed at home. They arrived within an hour to collect mum and from the outset were kind, thoughtful, respectful and, above all, very efficient and helpful. On my visits to their premises, I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and relaxed I was made to feel and was always confident that they would look after mum in the way I would wish and that the funeral would be conducted exactly as we wished. I will definitely ask them to look after my family in the future, though hopefully not too soon.

  • 5 Lee Gray 16th Feb 2016

    We found everyone at Nicolas O'hara Funeral Directors to be extremely professional, but did this in a way that way that was totally sympathetic and caring.

    Nothing was too much trouble and communication was exemplary. We were kept informed at every step.

    They made, what could be a very stressful time for all of us, a very stress free and easy process which meant we could focus on other priorities.

  • 5 Malcolm Isaac 8th Feb 2016

    I was most impressed and very thankful for the smooth and thoughtful way in which my mothers funeral was organised and conducted. Thank you all very much.
