Bernadette Foley
Feb 2026Rosa and the team were amazing, at such a difficult time for us. The team were very supportive and ensuring our loved one was looked after with dignity and respect my beautiful father deserved. I can't thank you enough, as it was such a stressful time for us all. Your kindness Rosa, was really appreciated. I would highly recommended O'Hares as the best funeral directors in Sydney. Thank you again Rosa.

Nov 2025Rose and her team at O'Hare looked after the funerals for both my parents. They made a very difficult time bearable. They were extremely respectful, gentle and kind. They guided us in our decisions with professionalism, empathy and ease. I would highly recommend O'Hare to those looking for a service that is personal, professional and unique. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail during our time of loss were truly remarkable. From the initial contact to the service, they handled everything with care and sensitivity. Thank you for honouring our loved one with such grace and dignity. Highly recommended their services.

Apr 2022If I could give 10 stars I would. Best decision I have made, I wouldn’t go with anyone else! Rosa, Danny & Stefano at A.O’Hares exceeded well over expectations. They made everything seem so easy from the viewing to the liturgy books. Every bit of details inbetween was added, so compassionate and everyone complimented how amazing the service was for my dad. Thank you so much for such an amazing send off to heaven for our superstar! God bless.

Aug 2025A O’Hare Funerals recently performed the funeral for my son Daniel. Rosa offered suggestions, I made decisions then changed them, and throughout this process Rosa displayed such a wonderful understanding of how difficult all this was for me. I can not thank them enough for making this sad time a little more bearable.

Oct 2024Yesterday I was privileged to (virtually) attend the funeral of Gregory Thomas via a video link. I was amazed by the way your company so beautifully conducted everything. The singing funeral director was on another level. Also the kind, sincerity of the two staff who welcomed and later thanked those for attending. The most incredible part was at the end of the mass where the priest and the singer sang the blessing at the final commendation, it was really the most beautiful prayer. Thank you for your attentiveness and care it is really beyond these 5 stars.
