You gave myself and family such kindness and care when arranging my Husband Reuben's funeral and I would like to thank Christopher Johnson and Christopher Antell for their sympathetic guidance throughout, including the "Order of Service" conducted at Poole Crematorium - all of which enabled us all to celebrate his life (which he lived to the full) and helped us to look forward to our own despite the huge gap he has left. Again, many thanks to everyone involved. Beryl and Family

We were very pleased with all aspects of the arrangements both on the day and before.  All members of staff were respectful, friendly and professional with lots of contact to make sure everything was ok.  I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.  Thank you Nicholas O'Hara.

    Excellent..

  • 5 Jennifer Hart 4th Aug 2019

    Thank you to Chris Johnson who guided us through the funeral procedure slowly and clearly explaining everything along the way making it as easy as is possible during this time of remembrance. Thank you also to Chris Antell, Celebrant, who took us through the service, again guiding the family and friends through this difficult day.

  • 5 Jean Williams 4th Aug 2019

    Nicholas and his team were fantastic throughout this difficult time and our family cannot thank them enough for their care and attention. 

  • 5 Teresa Jones 2nd Aug 2019

    I cannot praise Nicolas O’Hara Funeral Directors enough. From our initial visit they were very professional but in a supportive and caring way which continued throughout.
    Rory Craig was with us from the beginning to the end which felt so personal and he explained the process with myself, my son and daughter-in-law in a compassionate but extremely efficient manner, advising us along the way. I instantly felt in safe hands. He is an extremely personable young man and a credit to the company. 
    The funeral was carried out exactly as we had discussed and there was perfect attention to detail. I have since received numerous complimentary comments.
    My family and I would highly recommend Nicolas O’Hara if you want your loved one taken care of in a compassionate, caring, but professional way and to have the stress at this traumatic time taken off your shoulders then O’Hara are perfect for you.
    We must mention at this point about Rob Hazell, Independent Celebrant. Rob was excellent. On meeting him I was instantly comfortable and we talked casually about my husband’s life.  From these notes he prepared the service and spoke about my dear husband with sensitivity, compassion but also with humour, it was as if he had known him as a friend which made it so personal and everyone captured my husband perfectly.
    Thank you to everyone.

At such a difficult time we couldn't have asked for better. Thank you.
