The death of my dearly loved husband, Malcolm, has been the hardest thing I have ever had to face. Right from the start, Anthony and the team at O'Hara's provided amazing support to me and the whole family. With their help, we were able to give Malcolm the wonderful send off that he so deserved. Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. I would not hesitate to recommend O'Hara's to anyone who has lost a loved one.

  • 5 Anne Tillin 1st Aug 2017

    I have only the highest praise for Nick, Chris, Anthony and all the staff, their understanding and sensitivity helped me to cope with the very sad and traumatic circumstances of the death of my husband. At such a terrible time when I felt unable to make decisions I was gently guided by their expertise and felt very supported by the obvious empathy shown by all involved. Every aspect of the funeral was carried out with the highest degree of professionalism and respect and, most importantly, with a real sense of caring for myself and our family.

    Thank you.

  • 5 Gillian Robin 3rd Jun 2017

    Has officiated at both parents funerals in a very professional and courteous manner.

  • 5 Tessa Forgan 29th May 2017

    We didn’t know where to start with selecting a Funeral Director, as we are relatively new to the area, so we began by asking for recommendations. The unequivocal response was O’Haras, and we could very soon see why.
    From the moment Anthony arrived at the house to discuss the process, we knew he would handle everything perfectly, and he and his team didn’t disappoint. They were professional, courteous and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble, and we appreciated the understated good humour and sensitivity shown at each stage. We also know that our mother would have loved the stylish silver limousines!
    Thank you, everyone. We will not hesitate to recommend you in the highest terms to anyone in future.
    Kit, Stephen, Tessa and Claire Bartlett.
