Jacqueline Chissell 5th Nov 2019

Nick and his family were so helpful, friendly and understanding following the death of our beloved mum. We couldn’t fault them and  would certainly recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone. 

Delia Wood 2nd Nov 2019

My experience in dealing with the extremely sad occasion was a lot less stressful than  I  had anticipated. This was largely due to the  patience, kindness and understanding of all the staff I worked with.  The funeral was planned perfectly together with  flexibility if needed. Many guests were impressed with the celebration and  photographs during the service. The result more than exceeded my expectations. Many people have since  told me that the service will add to the happy memories they already have of Heidi. My  family believe that the celebration   ‘did her proud,’ and for that I am very grateful.  I would like to thank Rory and Chris and everyone  involved  Many thanks Delia , Heidi’s daughter

    Excellent service provided by everyone concerned. It makes life so much easier to deal with in such difficult times. A special mention to Chris Antel for the way he conducted the service, everyone was very impressed.

  • 5 Sally Mckay 26th Oct 2019

    A difficult time was dealt with sensitively and efficiently. The photo tribute was beautifully presented and I felt my dear mum would have been pleased with everything. At no time was I hurried and everyone I encountered at O'Hara's was lovely. I have to mention Anthony who was my first and last point of contact who was brilliant throughout. I would definitely recommend this Funeral Director.

  • 5 Colleen Walbridge 24th Sep 2019

    I wanted a perfect day for my adored husband and it was a beautiful service with Chris doing Baz justice, the sun was shining - my thanks goes to Rory for making this very sad day amazing for my Baz 

  • 5 Russell Burden 23rd Sep 2019

    I don't often leave reviews however the service provided by Nicolas O'Hara was truly exceptional. After our beloved husband/father passed away we contacted O'Haras and Anthony came out to see us the same day. From the moment he first visited the service was friendly, sympathetic and we felt reassured that nothing would be too much trouble. In particular some really nice touches were the plaque chosen for the coffin and Anthony managing to find the theme music from the film "Convoy" which had caused us some problems in locating. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicolas O'Hara to anyone.

  • 5 Sandra Brown 23rd Sep 2019

  • 5 David Duffy 17th Sep 2019

    What a superb professional service. I cannot speak highly enough of Anthony and his team. They made the hardest day of my life as bearable as possible. The vehicles they utilise are regal and just what my princess deserved. 
    Just meet the team and you will look no further.

  • 5 Gail Powell 12th Sep 2019

    Compassionate, caring, professional every step of the way. Nothing too much trouble at a time when their wonderful support is of such value. I cannot praise O'Hara's enough - they are indeed a "family who support your family"

  • 5 Kim Matthews 10th Sep 2019
