Exemplary service

Exemplary service from Nicholas O’Hara funeral directors in particular Jon who guided us and helped us to organise a lovely service and tribute to my Aunt.
Everyone we dealt with was very professional and kind and very helpful and we are very grateful.
We had to arrange the service via video calls and emails which is never as easy as face to face, it all went very smoothly and the service was just how we wanted it to be on the day, nothing was too much trouble. The Order of Service sheets they designed for us were beautiful, thank you.

Excellent, considerate service

Very happy to show my appreciation to Philip and the team at Nicholas O'Hara, they couldn't have done more to give us peace of mind that every detail was taken care of. Was an extremely professional and thoughtful service throughout the process. I was especially glad of the kind briefing ahead of helping to carry my dad's coffin, and on the day the other pall bearer's made me feel included for which I'm very grateful.

Offering dignity and professional service

Phillip was absolutely amazing from our first contact until the day of the funeral (with regular calls). It's the little things that make the difference like pictures of a steam train on the screens at the crematorium as we went in (not asked for but Father in laws family had been crossing keepers and he had always continued a massive fascination with steam trains) and the orders of service were some of the best I've seen (and I've worked for churches and been to multiple funerals). Thank you. This is the third time we have used Ohara's and their service is the best even when going through such a hard time. Probably not the cheapest in the area but when you're saying farewell to a loved one you want it done right.

Everything was perfect

Everything was perfect. From first walking into your shop in West Moors and booking my late wife's funeral to the cremation and beyond, I was treated and
witnessed the very best of a pure professional service.
All of my family and friends who attended the service remarked how perfect it was. My sincere thanks to you all

A heartfelt message of thanks to Rory…

A heartfelt message of thanks to Rory and the whole team at Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors

Dear Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors,

Rory, Beth, Natalie, Nicholas and the O'Hara Team

I am writing to express our deepest gratitude to your entire team for the exceptional support, care, and professionalism you provided during the incredibly sad time of laying our dear mother, to rest.

Your assistance in organising Mum's funeral was nothing short of remarkable.

From the very beginning, Rory and the team guided us with empathy and compassion, making the entire process more bearable for us.

Your attention to detail ensured that Mum had the funeral she deserved and was handled beautifully.

The team has really offered a comforting presence and helped us navigate the decisions and emotions that come with organising Mum's send off.

Rory's kindness and understanding really helped and were a source of strength during this unbearably challenging time.

Please convey our heartfelt appreciation to every member of your team for their dedication and for going above and beyond to make this time as smooth as possible for us.

We are truly grateful for your support and the love you showed in helping us celebrate Mum's life.

It will take us all some time to adjust to this new reality but we'll take it day by day and remember Mum for everything she did for us all.

With sincere thanks and warm regards,

The Smith and Grant family
