In life there are people who are good at their job and those who are born natural and good at their job. Rory Craig is a natural and I felt confident that my mum would have the funeral she would have wanted.  The service of all Nicholas o hara staff was kind and patience.

    All that my family and I have spoken to agree that the funeral arrangements and their execution were excellent. We were all extremely satisfied with how the day went and would like to congratulate Nicholas O'Hara on the caring and highly professional manner in which all aspects of Barbara's funeral were conducted. We will give the highest level of recommendation to all who would ask us. Thank you so much

    Excellent

  • 5 Reine Baker 2nd Dec 2018

    We were very happy with the care and consideration offered by all the people we met from Nicholas O’Hara. They helped us through all the decisions we needed to make and Chris Antell put together a beautiful tribute to my Dad. 

  • 5 John & Barbara Hayter 29th Nov 2018

    O'Hara Funeral Directors have treated us with dignity & respect during this sad time.  We were guided with warm smiles & expertise to arrange the best send off possible.  Our requests were accommodated & made us feel the meaning of celebrating a life not making it dark & sombre.  We were kept in touch throughout about arrangements as they were being arranged & finalised, putting our minds at rest that all was going as planned. There were little touches above & beyond that meant a lot. The whole funeral went smoothly thanks to the care of the O'Hara staff.

  • 5 Gail Cropper 27th Nov 2018

    The funeral of our Mother was handled most sensitively and efficiently. We live a considerable distance away so many of the arrangements had to be done over the phone and by email. Everyone was very helpful but Rory in particular paid close attention to what we wanted and made sure that it was done. Such close attention to what we had to say about our Mother meant that the Service sheet they designed for us was perfect and a wonderful reflection of the person Mum was. I couldn't have done it better myself. Rory also effected the liaison between myself and the officiating Minister with tact and efficiency. Nicholas O'Hara handled my Fathers funeral 23 years ago. They did a very good job then which is why we asked them to handle Mum's. We were so glad that we did as, if anything, they were even better this time. Thank you Rory and the team

  • 5 Michael Smith 27th Nov 2018

  • 5 Roland Andrews 16th Nov 2018

  • 5 Angela Baker 2nd Nov 2018

    I cannot thank Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors enough for everything they did for us in taking care of everything for my late husband Mr George John Baker. Their service is second to none and I would like to thank Anthony O'Hara especially, as he was so kind, courteous and helpful during the whole sad procedure and made many little gestures which made the funeral so personal to me and all his family. A truly wonderful family business which looks after even the tiniest of details making a sad occasion so much easier to get through.

  • 5 Kenneth Parratt 24th Oct 2018

    Excellent. we felt as if we were being treated as people, with great respect shown to all of us, especially my Dad. Could not have made it any easier for us, to deal with this sad time. We felt that we were dealing with a family, not a business.

  • 5 Teena Tubbs 8th Oct 2018

  • 5 Elizabeth Edmunds 5th Oct 2018

    Anthony & Nick provided a real personal service for Mary's funeral and helped ensure that the day went smoothly

  • 5 Patricia Golding 2nd Oct 2018

    We received an excellent service throughout with much attention to detail and very regular contact with us - particularly important in view of the distance we live from Wimborne.

    Most things were excellent however on the day of the funeral some things could have been better:
    Not all of the cards were collected from the church.
    There was no collecting box for donations in the church and/or hall.

  • 5 Linda Kehoe 15th Jul 2018
