I can’t express enough how wonderful Nicholas O’Hara are. Everything they do is with the utmost care and dignity. Chris Johnson oversaw our dads recent funeral and previously our mums. He took away any of the stresses and strains of organisation and made suggestions where we needed them.  I have nothing but praise.  Vanessa Holloway

  • 5 Anne-Marie Bell 16th Mar 2020

    At a very difficult and emotional time, Chris and the whole team at O'Hara's made the whole process extremely smooth. Thank you! We highly recommend them.

  • 5 Keely Duran 10th Mar 2020

    So friendly and the funeral was so personal. We couldn't have asked for anymore

  • 5 Dee Muspratt 3rd Mar 2020

    Anthony O'Hara met the 3 of us at the initial meeting to discuss arrangements. He was calm, friendly and professional - we immediately felt in a safe pair of hands. All the arrangements were excellent and he put us in touch with a lovely celebrant - Martin Hiles. The funeral went seamlessly and was all done with calm dignity. Dad would have approved. Thank you.

  • 5 Elizabeth Pilbro 21st Feb 2020

    A very personal and sensitive service with attention to detail and family care.

  • 5 David Brooks 20th Feb 2020

    Thank you for this opportunity to Comment, The performance, professionalism and outcome were excellent, Chris Johnson (CJ) managed and supported exceptionally, Chris Antell who created and took the service was particularly good. This was the second funeral with O'Hara Funeral Directors Ltd that we attended in recent times, We will in the future have no concerns about asking them to provide services into the future, even very likely our own.

    Thank you Chris and all the team at O'Hara Funeral Directors.

    Kind regards

    David

    I can’t thank Rory enough. He made a very difficult occasion much easier for which I thank him very much. 

  • 5 Marilyn Harris 4th Feb 2020

    You have all been fabulous. Chris certainly knew what he was doing when he chose Nicholas O'Hara. You all made a difficult time effortless and made us feel so cared for. The whole experience was so dignified and special, even down to when we came to see Chris for the last time, it was special and all staff were so caring and compassionate. The service was lovely and everyone said the same.
    One special touch was the Memory Box, which is such a lovely idea and so thoughtful. Please keep up the amazing work you all do. If this is a service to be recommended, I will certainly be recommending Nicholas O'Hara. Thank you to everyone, you are all incredible.

  • 5 Astrid Kentish 22nd Dec 2019

    Everyone involved in the support of myself and family was exceptional in their professionalism, care and consideration.
    The flexible manner in which they dealt with a service, which having an International connection fraught with various setbacks including the failure of 1 plane, was above and beyond what would normally be expected.
    I cannot speak too highly of them, and send them my heartfelt thanks for easing the pain on this saddest of occasions.

  • 5 Alison Rixon 14th Dec 2019

    We had the most personal, understanding and comprehensive service anyone could hope for at the difficult time of the loss of my mother. I am indebted to them for making the process so bearable. Thank you so very much. 

  • 5 Lizzie Cavanagh 6th Dec 2019

    I was faced with a situation I never thought I would have to be in - losing my darling husband, but O’Haras took care of everything. Nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was outstanding. 
    Their care of all the arrangements went above and beyond; all with kindness, compassion and thought. The whole ethos of O’Haras is to ensure that the final goodbye is personalised, special and memorable. All the staff who supported us were incredible and I can’t recommend them highly enough - thank you.

  • 5 Keith Drake 30th Nov 2019

    Excellent service from a very friendly and efficient family business. 
    Nick recommended Chris as our celebrant who handled our service exactly as we wanted.
    All in all a difficult day was dealt with professionally and with great humility.

  • 5 Ben Mumford 25th Nov 2019

    Excellent service from Nicholas O'Hara. Chris was very efficient but also caring and understanding. Everyone did a great job, highly recommended.

  • 5 Gillian Mannouch 6th Nov 2019

    I always describe Nicholas O'Hara as a well oiled machine !! But that does sound rather clinical. Chris at our initial meetings and on the day of the funeral services with the rest of the team, they were efficient, organised, so helpful leading me through everything that needed to be done and at the same time very sensitive & caring. I will continue to sing your praises to everyone I meet.
