The funeral of my husband

The funeral of my husband, John Brann was managed by the Westbourne Office. What was a very sad occasion was made easier by their kindness and understanding. Bethany and Glyn arranged everything perfectly and this was a great weight of our shoulders. I would highly recommend Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors based in Westbourne. Betty & Family.

Caring

Caring, compassionate and stress free. I cannot thank the team at O'Hara's enough for all they have done for myself and my family in the last few weeks. I knew my Dad was in safe hands after the lose of my Mum a number of years ago when O'Hara's dealt with her funeral. Anthony and the whole team are just incredible and make sure everything goes smoothly. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful service for our baby boy, Dylan

We recently lost our baby boy, who was born sleeping at 36weeks.
The hospital put us in touch with O’Haras (Canford heath branch) and we are so pleased they did. Charlotte was incredible and made sure every detail was taken care of for us, and also updated us when our baby boy was in her care. It was the toughest day of our lives.. but a really beautiful service. And we cannot thank Charlotte enough.

Laying a beloved husband, Father, Dad and Grandfather to rest.

At a very difficult time in our lives we were supported by an excellent team of professionals to manage my husband Ron's funeral. Ron was treated with the respect he deserved and the family were well supported to visit him in the Chapel of Rest. We were treated with empathy, respect and consideration from beginning to end of our interactions with O'Hara Funeral Directors. I would highly recommend their services.

Wonderfully caring

Wonderfully caring, respectful and attentive to our late Mum and to our wishes as a family. Nothing was too much trouble and they accommodated us throughout the time Mum was at the Chapel of Rest. I would highly recommend Nicholas O'Hara for all of their funeral services.

Thank you for your kindness

I would like to thank Nicholas O’Hara’s Funeral Directors for their utterly compassionate and professional service, particularly Anna Jackson for her kindness, attention to detail and the fact that nothing was too much trouble for her no matter what. Many thanks to the whole team at Ohara’s for looking after myself, my family and taking such good care of my Father on his final journey. Thank you again and kindest regards,

Professional, compassionate and knowledgable funeral Director

From speaking to Lauren in Verwood at the start of the process and Anthony who helped guide us through this difficult time it was made easier knowing my father was in good hands. Chris the celebrant was great and every detail asked for was put together for a very special service to celebrate my father’s life. Thank you for everything.

Great service

O’Haras have dealt with the funerals of both our mum and dad. Both days were as good as they could have been. The service is always personal, genuine, compassionate and flawless. We can’t recommend Anthony and O’Haras highly enough.

Our experience with Nicholas O’Hara was excellent and we would recommend their service

Our experience with Nicholas O’Hara was excellent,all their staff provided very good customer service and showed Compassion with all my family.
All my family remarked on excellent funeral service and the appreciated the silver cars, which they all preferred to the usual black colour.
Overall we all appreciate the service provided, particularly because the weather was very rainy throughout the day

Professional and compassionate service

We used O'Haras in Verwood when my father passed away in March. From the minute we called and arranged a meeting with Anna we felt we were in very good hands. Anna kept in close contact throughout, guiding us to make decisions. Chris, the celebrant did an excellent job directing the service.
Everyone we met in the process from Lauren in the office when arranging visits to see Dad and Duncan, who drove us to the service and all the others we didn't get to meet in name, we are so grateful for their professional, compassionate, kind service. I felt my Dad was always treated with such dignity.
This is not a recommendation you want to be in a position to give however should I need to in future I would not hesitate.
Thank you so much to OHaras for the work they carry out so beautifully, we are truly grateful.

Highly recommended

Nicholas O’Hara were fantastic. Living 3 hours away from my deceased relative, all the worry was taken away from me on how to arrange my aunt’s funeral at a distance. I was given guidance and contacts which resulted in a beautiful funeral. I cannot thank their team enough and highly recommend.
