Although many of our friends and relations were unable to attend due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the video link was very much appreciated by them and we have received a great deal of positive feedback regarding the way the ceremony was conducted. Particular praise was received for the Celebrant, Chris Antell. Thank you to all who helped on the day. Jean Andrews

  • 5 Gavin Roberts 19th Jan 2020

    Thanks to Rory, Nikki and the team a very very sad time was made bearable when we came to organise the funeral of Audrey Avery.

    They could not have been more caring, sympathetic and supportive.

    With their input to music, service books, photos and flowers we gave Audrey the send off she truly deserved.

    Heartfelt thanks.

  • 5 Helen Beville 1st Nov 2019

    We were extremely impressed by the level of sincerity and care that Rory from Nicholas O’Hara gave us as a family during this difficult time. Rory chose Neil who was the celebrant for my Dad and he did an amazing Job. Having not actually met our dad we felt he knew us as a family. 
    Nothing was a problem for Rory. He adapted to whatever we wanted to do on the day. Thank you for making the day go so smoothly.

    Everyone from Nicholas O'Hara treated all of my family including my deceased father with the most respect and kindness that you could possibly ask for.

    They have a very special gift for the job they do.
    Chris did an amazing job when he took the service and made everything feel really personal.

    We fully recommend their service.
