From start to finish the whole service was very professional but felt very personal, nothing was too much to ask and support was always there when needed. Thanks to the team I could give my dad the send off he deserved and couldn't thank them enough. I would definitely recommend them.

    I have known the O'Hara Family for over sixty years and have nothing but praise. The manner that Anthony arranged the funeral of my late wife not only before and at the funeral but the efficient follow up following it. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

    thank you for making this difficult time so much easier. Chris handled everything with care and compassion and everyone has since commented on what a lovely and fitting send off Julie was afforded. I would recommend Ohara's to anyone

  • 5 Stephen Erwood 11th Feb 2019

    From the start, Chris and the team have provided a compassionate and professional service at all times. Their attention to detail is commendable, and their help and advice at such a difficult time was much appreciated. Cannot praise them enough.

  • 5 Dean Spencer 11th Feb 2019

    Anthony and his team provided a faultless service on the day of the funeral and throughout the process. Great attention was paid to detail. For example, a name plaque complete with the RAF crest was made and attached to the coffin; and a duplicate given to the family to keep. A lovely card containing all the names of the people who attended was sent to us the day after the funeral. Anthony replied quickly to any queries; and kept us informed. The family are truly greatful.

  • 5 Rosemary Anne Cooke 10th Feb 2019

    Right from the first phone call the service has been discreet, professional and compassionate. I have been very impressed at a truly awful time. They have been very supportive.

    At a very difficult time the help and professional service we received from Nicholas O'Hara made all the difference. Throughout the process they gave all the support that we would have hoped for and we can't thank them enough. Philip dealt with us and his care and attention ensured a very special day for the family went without a worry. Well done and thanks to all at Nicholas O'Hara.

    kindest regards,

    Mario & Laura Grattarola

    Excellent. Everything was taken care of for us and nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5 Janet Church 15th Jan 2019

    From the very first face to face appointment with Rory to the final detailed arrangements at the end of the crematorium service, O'hara's Funeral Directors, and in particular Rory, have displayed a professional and sensitive approach that has been outstanding.
    A high level of respect was shown both to my deceased father and my siblings as we were lead through the different processes of the funeral arrangements.
    We have felt supported in every aspect and very much appreciated the sensitive eye to detail which resulted in the whole process running very smoothly.
    My family and I would highly recommend Ohara's Funeral Directors.
    Jan Church.

  • 5 Raymond Owen 13th Jan 2019

    Excellent Company and would recommend them without hesitation. Handled the arrangements very sensitive ly and professionally. So very pleased we used them. First Class

  • 5 Geraldine Goodison 8th Jan 2019

    My family and I have the same sentiments - we couldn't have wished for better service. Rory is a lovely man; a pleasure to work with. He was helpful, courteous, warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My lovely John was given a beautiful send off with everything brought together in a quiet, unhurried and dignified way.

    The weather added to the feeling of warmth with the sun shining brightly as the committal and blessing were carried out at the Church gate.

    My warm and grateful thanks to all concerned
