Respectful, courteous, professional and helpful are just some of the words that spring to mind when thinking of Nicholas O’Hara Funeral Directors. Anthony’s care and concern for our family during this difficult period was outstanding as he walked us through the whole process and all the arrangements were perfect right down to the finest detail ... thank you so much.

    Professional, considerate, thoughtful service. Rory kept us updated with all aspects of the process and funeral details. 
    The cars that are used are particularly impressive, which is what Reg loved about them.  Would definitely recommend.

    This unique family firm was nothing short of outstanding throughout the whole process.  Diligent and professional with a very personal touch.  Nick and his team communicated with me regularly and took the time to comfort and advise with compassion and real empathy.  Thank you all.  The team have dealt with my Grandparents and now both my parents, we trust them implicitly with the care of our dearest family members.

    O'Haras showed great understanding from first contact with them and were very helpful with all aspects of the arrangements at what is always a trying time for those involved. All aspects of their work were completed with subtle efficiency and on the day of the funeral they were excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

  • 5 Susan Robinson 10th Aug 2020

    The help we received from Nicholas O'Hara and in particular Rory at this very difficult time was much appreciated and helped make the whole process much simpler
    Thanks very much from all of Audrey's family.

  • 5 Richard Long 7th Aug 2020

    Very understanding of my situation 

  • 5 Pauline Salter 29th Jul 2020

    I cannot fault the service I have recieved . From planning the funeral to help with organising the service.
    Although due to covid things are restricted, everything was carried out with dignity and respect.

  • 5 Vanda Wallington 28th Jul 2020

    Just one criticism. I was not told the expected cost of the funeral.

  • 5 Marilyn Barber 27th Jul 2020

    When you lose someone who means the world to you it is so hard, but Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors take away some of the pain, and their efficiency is unbeatable. They also remove all the worry, as their planning is meticulous. Defintely 5 stars.

  • 5 Kenneth Payne 25th Jul 2020

    We knew we could depend on you, and were not disappointed. Thank you for an excellent service
    . From us all.

  • 5 Robert Gray 25th Jul 2020

    Very thoughtful and professional. Made a very difficult and emotional experience go smoothly. Great attention to detail and you can see that the staff take great pride in their job. Can not recommend highly enough.

  • 5 Carol Mason 23rd Jul 2020

    Nicholas O'Hara treated my late Father with the utmost respect and made sure my Mother and I were consulted every step of the way, presenting various options and giving us total confidence that what we wanted could and would happen. 

    We were guided gently through all the necessary processes, giving us the opportunity to grieve without having having to worry about anything in a world that was hitherto totally alien to us. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and things we hadn't even considered were dealt with swiftly and efficiently without any fuss or causing any additional stress.

    Just a few days after my Father's funeral I had the misfortune to have to deal with a close friend's funeral in another area and have therefore had the 'luxury' of being able to make a comparison.  I can tell you, there is NO comparison and my recent experience has made me all too aware of just how much Nicholas O'Hara did for us.

    I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nicholas O'Hara - after all, at such a stressful time in your life, the last thing you want is to have anything else to worry about!

  • 5 Andrew Taylor 23rd Jul 2020

    Everything was handled very well, they reduced the stress at a difficult time.

  • 5 Neil Wilcox 10th Jul 2020

    Nick and Anthony were great, a family run firm that are very professional and thoughtful. They took care of all the funeral arrangements and made what was a very difficult time much easier. Many Thanks.

  • 5 Mike Renouf 8th Jul 2020

    We dealt with Chris who we found to be extremely helpful so a big thank you to all involved.

  • 5 Paul Tindall 7th Jul 2020

    Lovely people to deal with highly recommended
