Professional and caring

This is the third time I have (sadly) needed to use NOH’s services and, as before, they were professional and caring. Nothing is too much bother and any queries were answered swiftly. The service itself was exactly as we wanted it to be and we can’t thank them enough for all their help.

Above and beyond

Spoke to a lady called Charlotte re arrangements for a baby. Such an awful conversation for me that was handled with the upmost respect and dignity. All questions answered clearly, the process was explained very well and I am astounded at the service they will provide to go above and beyond. Thank you very much. Will be in touch next week to confirm arrangements.

Version office - Lauren

I cannot praise Lauren at your Verwood office highly enough. From the first moment of contact she treated us with care, compassion and empathy, guiding us through the process seamlessly. Her recommendations for our Celebrant, who was wonderful, florist and wake were perfect. Her attention to detail, communication and organisational skills are superb and her care and respect for our loved one are to be commended.
This young woman is such an asset both to your organisation and to her chosen profession and I wish her the very best for the future and she will always have our grateful thanks.

A trusted and professional Company

Our family and friends felt that the funeral was lovely, and this was in no small part due to the sympathetic, supportive and professional attitude shown to us before, during and after the funeral by all the members of your company. All our wishes were carried out thoughtfully, and there was nothing that we felt could have been improved upon.

Dignified and caring funerals with a truly personal touch.

Nicholas O'Hara handled my Mother's funeral in June 2023 and my Dad's funeral in November 2023. The staff were so thoughtful and caring throughout, making it a much more manageable experiencethan I would have imagined. They were supportive without being intrusive, and both funerals were very dignified yet very personal. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Amazingly supportive from start to finish

At what is one of the most difficult times we've ever experienced, Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors were an incredible support for our entire family. From an incredibly personal and friendly manner in all of our meetings and communication to the comfortable and beautiful surroundings of their work and chapel spaces, we could not have asked for more from Anthony, Nick and every single person we encountered in the team. Thank you so much for being there for us, our family and our friends!

Excellent service throughout the whole process to guide us through a difficult time in a caring and thoughtful manner. Anna in particular was attentive and pro-active in preparing us for the funeral and the team on the day were both respectful and friendly.

Professional and kind... so we could focus on family

My family had an excellent service from O'haras for my late Dad's funeral. Anna responded quickly and sensitively to our enquiries, and was astute at identifying a celebrant to support us with the service. The team on the day were extremely kind and professional, and enabled us to move through a difficult time with minimum effort, so we could just focus on what mattered for us. Thank you.

Highly recommended…

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in carrying out my late father's service. The very professional manner of phil. My late father's name in organising everything that had to be done in calm stages. No pressure. Everything explained. The grey hearse is a lovely idea. My father wouldn't of liked the idea of a black hearse.

Personal and excellent service

During what was a difficult time for the family, Anna and the team at Nicholas O'Hara helped guide us through everything we needed to do. I'm very grateful for the personal approach they took. It felt as though everything had been thought about and planned carefully. This meant not only did everything go smoothly on the day but allowed us to say goodbye without worry or thinking about anything else.

Anthony and team were superb

Anthony and team were superb - professional at every stage , but above all I always felt that they really cared. The celebrant was brilliant, exactly capturing my late husband in a beautiful tribute which everyone who attended remarked upon. Anthony's staff were point perfect on the day and the order of service designed by Natalie was amazing and very personal .It was the hardest and saddest thing in my life but thanks to Oharas it was filled with love and support from all.

Nicholas O’Hara Excellent Funeral Directors

We have used Nicholas O’Hara for both of my parents funerals and they have provided a first class service. Nothing was to difficult for them to sort out, just what you need when faced with these sad times.
