A Big Thank You

As a family we were looked after so well. Having lost my husband nearly two years ago and this year my Mum Nicholas O’Hara Funeral Directors gently led me through the process with care and such support. Nothing was too much trouble and even after the funerals they made sure I was coping. I cannot thank them enough.

Our very own Funeral Directors - O’Hara

Having used Nicholas O’Hara’s services before for my Mother and Father my aunt and uncle decided to follow suit, and why not? My Aunt and Uncle had a prepaid plan which was really sensible. The directors were compassionate at a time in one’s life of vulnerability, they were local and had a wealth of experience and guided me through what to expect. Thank you

Very comforting from the moment we made contact with O'Hara's.
You can see and feel that they actual care and take pride in offering an exceptional service at a time which is so difficult for us.
Anthony and the celebrant Chris were outstanding! I would have no hesitation recommending them to everyone.
Thank you all for the care you took, the whole family really appreciates it.

THE SERVICE PROVIDED IS SECOND TO NONE

Nicholas O'Hara FUNERAL DIRECTORS HAVE CARRIED OUT FOUR OF OUR FAMILIES FUNERALS AND THEIR LEVEL OF SERVICE IS SECOND TO NONE. WE WOULD NOT USE ANY OTHER FIRM.

THEY HAVE ALWAYS PROVIDED A SERVICE THAT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

Everyone at O’Hara were friendly

Everyone at O’Hara were friendly, polite and caring from the loss of our Mum to the service. The service was fitting and dignified for our Mum. Jon and John showed professionalism, kindness and compassion throughout. Thank you for taking some of the stress away from us on what was a difficult day.

Funeral Arrangements For Church & Burial

It is was clearly evident that this family business take great pride in offering a service far beyond any reasonable expectations.

Thank you for being so professional, whilst seamlessly displaying great empathy.

Recognising the high regard and consideration that you all took for my father-in-law, was such a great comfort. I am grateful to you all.

Sympathetic Personal Service

A sympathetic, personal service with attention to detail from the appearance of the bearers, the hearse and the limos. The assistance in organising the order of service including appropriate music and slide show and an excellent eulogy . Also the after care and handling of the ashes.

Highly recommended

Anthony O’Hara and his staff along with the celebrant worked closely together to ensure our fathers funeral was a thoughtful, compassionate and dignified day. Their support from initial contact through to after care was excellent and of the same high standards that they provided in 2019 when our mother passed away.

From my Mum arranging her Golden Charter pre paid funeral to arranging Mum's ashes to go into the ground Anthony O'Hara has been an absolute blessing. We moved away from Poole 2 years ago but felt it only right that Mum's funeral should take place there.
Anthony arranged everything for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Natalie made our beautiful order of services. I cannot thank this company enough. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Jon Austin - Wimborne Office

Jon supported me and my brother after the sad loss of our dad. From the moment I first spoke to Jon until the funeral itself, and afterwards Jon treated us with the utmost respect, kindness and understanding. The entire experience was handled with exemplary professionalism and I have no option other than to rate the service as 5 star outstanding. The whole team at O'Haras in Wimborne are dedicated, kind, decent and approachable. No question felt too small. The service itself went smoothly and without a hitch. Huge thanks to your whole team in helping us give our wonderful father the send off he deserved. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
