My deceased aunt and I were both…

My deceased aunt and I were both treated with the most upmost respect. Ohara’s took care of the arrangements including choosing the flowers. I live a considerable distance so knew that I would find it difficult to take care of all the details. They did her proud in a professional manner

The service for the late Mrs Eleonora Logan

The service, care and attention given to our family at this sad time was second to none. The company and staff were excellent. Everything was made easy for us with great care, from taking care of my late mother to the funeral service itself. The celebrant conducted a wonderful service with great attention to detail. It was as if he was a family member.Highly recommended. Thank you.

Outstanding service.

Jon and the rest of the team from our very first phone call that we had to make in such a difficult time couldn't have been more supportive. They were respectful and we completely trusted they would be taking care of our dad. Nothing was too much trouble down to the smallest detail. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. I wouldn't use anybody else.

Ant, Nat and the rest of the team went above and beyond our expectations. From the kindness and compassion shown by Jon and Philip when they collected Mum to the service itself.

Thank you!

From the moment we contacted Nicholas O’Hara they were very professional, caring and attentive, we were guided through each step, Charlotte was there every step of the way, the funeral service ran smoothly and just as we had hoped. Thank you for everything, you made a very tough time a little bit easier, it was very much appreciated.

Ohara's have been so amazing

Ohara's have been so amazing. An pleasure to deal with in utterly horrendous conditions. They have gone far and above any customer service levels we have ever experienced before. So efficient, kind and patient with me and my brother had the most beautiful service. They have helped us with dropping things off to us as we had no transport. I cannot recommend them highly enough along with Rob Hazell, the indepent celebrant about whom many commented that he must have known my brother as he delivered the service like a family member. Thank you.

Excellent and would highly recommend

As the widow I was treated with kindness, empathy and respect. I was kept informed and the whole process from first interview to the completion of the funeral was carried out smoothly and with dignity and great concern for my welfare.

Freds farewell

My thanks to all for the help I received from your company was superb in every way. If I had a problem or needed to speak to someone it was dealt with in a friendly quiet manner and there is absolutely nothing that I could criticise about any part of the entire process from beginning to end. My thanks to everyone at a time when I needed calmness and easy answers to anything I was not sure of. Most of my family members have been served by your smart, effecient and caring company and each time it has always been perfect.

Dad's Funeral

When you have lost a loved one, you are emotionally vulnerable. Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors pick you up and professionally guide you through what needs to be done with care, curtesy and understanding. Everyone was so kind and respectful and we are so grateful to them for their amazing service.

Care and compassion at a time of great sadness

Care, compassion and the overwhelming feeling that the death of my loved one was very personal not only to me and my family but deeply felt by all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we received regular phone calls before and after what was the most beautiful funeral service.
