Nicholas O’Hara Funeral Directors celebrated opening their latest funeral home in Canford Heath with a service of blessing for their chapel and funeral home.

The service, lead by Rev Peter Homden from St Paul’s Church, focused on the care the family business provide, the beautiful chapel setting for the bereaved to visit and the staff who work there. The service was attended by businesses that workalongside and Anthony O’Hara gave a quick history of the family business, which was established in 1974 by Nicholas and his parents in Wimborne, before expanding to Verwood, West Moors, Westbourne and Canford Heath.
