Rory ensured we had nothing to worry about for Dad’s funeral, making a difficult time more bearsble. Chris made the service very personal to us. His tribute to Dad was spot on!  They both helped to give Dad a lovely send off. Thank you.

  • 5 Julie Hunt 8th May 2018

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicholas O'Hara. I feel my Dad was treated with respect and I was supported every step of the way.

  • 5 Victoria Shapley 30th Mar 2018

    A very caring and professional service.  Both Chris Johnson and Chris Antell guided me through what I needed to do at a difficult time and helped me arrange my Mother’s funeral according to her wishes.

  • 5 David Buse 11th Mar 2018

    Totally professional in every aspect of my mother’s funeral just as they were with my father’s and my aunts.

    I can not recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Nigel Barclay 3rd Feb 2018

    Nicholas O’Hara have handled 3 funerals for us in less than a year. On each occasion they have helped us, as a family, to provide a fitting final tribute to the much loved people we have lost. Everyone we met, either in person or on the telephone, was always most professional and friendly; they were all a pleasure to deal with at a difficult time.

  • 5 Judith Anderson-Toner 2nd Jan 2018

    The funeral for my dear husband was very dignified and everything was just as perfect as it could be. I know Nick would have been very proud.

  • 5 Steve Farquharson 19th Dec 2017

    Very understanding, courteous and helpful at every step of the way. It's never nice to have to go through a situation like planning a funeral but Nicholas O'Hara made it as stress-free and straight-forward as possible.

  • 5 Gillian Ramsay 18th Dec 2017

    The team at Nicholas O'Hara were very helpful and kind throughout the whole process, and the funeral itself was organised efficiently and sensitively. We were really happy with the service they provided, and would certainly recommend them.

  • 5 Linda Ferne 9th Dec 2017

    We could not have asked for a better service from a funeral firm. Everyone we had dealings with were always sympathetic, respectful and kind. Their attention to detail was second to none and we can honestly say they did the family proud from start to finish and gave my dear Dad the best send off we could have wished for. They made what will always be a difficult experience so much easier to deal with. I would highly recommend them

  • 5 Sylvia Paddy 28th Mar 2017

    Could not fault the staff, they were very caring & the attention to detail was magnificent. My daughter and I could not have asked for better people to help us with this difficult time.

  • 5 Sue Geall 26th Mar 2017

    Organising a funeral for a loved one is something that you really don't want to do, but you do want it to represent the life that your loved one lived and for it it to go smoothly and perfectly for them as it's the last thing that you can do for them 

     The whole experience was handled with the utmost care and compassion and we were guided every step of the way . The organisation of the whole process  was handled expertly and professionally by Rory Craig. 

    We were reccomended to Neil McCain , Celebrant , by Rory, who spent time with us to get to know all about my dad and delivered a service where every commented that he had captured my dad perfectly , we felt so too. 

    We would like to thank Rory, Neil and Theresa (at the West Moors office ) for their kindness and professionalism at a very sad time for us

  • 5 Kevin Ostler 7th Mar 2017

    cannot thank you enough for a very sensitive and compassionate handling of my dads funeral 

  • 5 Susan Dennett 21st Feb 2017

    Mary had already chosen to use Nicholas O'Hara, as they were her local under takers, and I have to say that she couldn't have chosen better.

    At a sad time one needs the support of someone like Chris, with his can do attitude and attention to detail both before and after the service.

    On the day of Mary's funeral Chris made sure that my friends and I got the photo opportunity we wanted and the service went without a hitch.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicholas O'Hara.

  • 5 Timothy Anderson 7th Feb 2017

    We found everybody to be so helpful, all the advice given took away so much of the stress. The attention from Anthony was second to none and we felt so assured that all arrangements were taken care of. I can't speak highly enough of Anthony and his family, thank you so much.

  • 5 Jennie Tomlinson 26th Jan 2017

    Friendly, sensitive, understanding, no pushy salesman. Excellent communications, dealing with a single point of contact. The funeral itself went extremely smoothly.

  • 5 Gary Clifford 19th Dec 2016

    Good professional service

  • 5 Barbara Sheehan 19th Nov 2016

    Amazing from start to finish wow could not have made it easier 

  • 5 Peter Lowther 23rd Sep 2016

    Nicholas O'Hara were excellent. All the preparations leading up to the funeral were handled professionally but sensitively. On the day every detail fell into place seamlessly. We were extremely pleased and all the people that attended said that the funeral service was perfect. Thanks

  • 5 Rosalyn Hart 12th Aug 2016

    excellent in all ways, especially at such a hard time.

  • 5 Jenny Edmondson 9th Aug 2016

    Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors have supported our Family in the past with our late Father's funeral so it was only natural to return to them when our dear Mum passed away recently. They are compassionate, understanding, sincere, respectful and down-to-earth. At the same time, the team make you feel secure and let you be - nothing is an issue to them. They really feel like family. You couldn't ask for more ;) x

  • 5 Lorraine Bayman 11th Jul 2016

    O'Haras have handled our family's funerals for a number of years and have always been thoroughly professional.
