    The services carried out for my mother's funeral by Rory Craig were extremely professional throughout the whole process, from the first contact to the day of the service itself.

    I can’t praise Rory highly enough for his kindness, patience, empathy and understanding of what we as a family were finding difficult. Everything was treated with sensitivity and respect.

    The experience was made so much easier by the fact that Rory always did what he said he was going to do. From phone calls, emails and contacting outside agencies meant that it alleviated the burden during this time.

  • 5 Gill Stokes 14th Feb 2021

    We would like to thank Nick, Anthony and their wonderful staff for the kindness and compassion shown to us as a family, and for taking good care of our very dear Mum. A very difficult time made easier by such an excellent team.

    Nick Ohara and his wonderful family and team, carefully guided myself and my family through the saddest of times in caring with the funeral of my lovely wife Jane.
    The care and comfort and real support offered, was certainly over and above anything we / I anticipated. It was as though they were part of our family xx
    Thanks to Chris for the words in the beautiful service , that captured Jane so well xx
    It offered us all, that’s Janes family and close friends , a really true reflection on what a lovely lady she was. 
    Once again my sincere thanks to Nick Ohara and family and his team, you are the best xx.

    Phillip at Nicolas O’haras   
    Was very kind and caring and my dads funeral went without a hitch.  Everyone said how beautiful it was.  He was there to help every step of the way  and made it really easy for me at this time. It almost felt we were not under any covid restrictions as well, but we were very much so but was so easy. Thank you

    A big thank you to Chris and all at Nichola O'Hara for their kindness and compassion during a very difficult time . They went above and beyond in helping to arrange my grandmother's funeral - helping to focus, organise and provide support in each step of the arrangements. I felt very re-assured that we were getting the best service possible under the current pandemic situation.

  • 5 Ali 26th Jan 2021

    The compassion, support and attention to detail that every member of staff we had contact with was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and no question too small. Even working within Covid regulations the service provided felt like the elusive lockdown hugs we are all missing. 

  • 5 Michele Thompson 25th Jan 2021

    The care & attention to detail is second to none. Their dignity & respect is impeccable & so caring. We used their services for my Dad & there was no question about using them again this time. It is really hard losing someone so close & so sudden but it was a comfort to ask for their help again. We weren’t disappointed.
