What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Professionalism and compassion stand out in the accounts left by families in Belfast who used this funeral director. Staff are described as respectful, empathetic and thoughtful throughout, from the first call through to the day of the ceremony. Several customers mention that questions were answered promptly and that nothing felt like too much trouble, with arrangements explained clearly as they were made. Trudy, who works on front of house, is named for making the process run smoothly for one household. More than one writer remarks on how comfortable and welcoming the premises felt during visits.

The dignified handling of a parent's funeral is a theme that comes up often, with requests followed through and details attended to carefully. Reviewers also note that the team appeared genuinely invested in the family's wellbeing rather than merely carrying out a duty, and that this warmth helped them through an exceptionally painful period. Gratitude runs through the feedback for the sensitivity shown at a vulnerable time, particularly the respectful conduct of services and the steady support offered before, during and after the funeral itself.

5 stars does not do justice how professional, thoughtful and passionate the team at O’Kanes are. They are a class act from start to finish and my family and myself cannot thank them enough. What stood out in particular was their professionalism, attention to detail, warmth and nothing was ever too much for them. You didn’t feel like a client or customer, you felt like they really cared and wanted to help in a very difficult period of time. Daniel

I would like to thank everyone at O'Kanes funerals for the wonderful service they provided for my precious mummy. From the first day we contacted them to the end of the funeral everyone at O'Kanes were so professional and compassionate. They took care of everything and helped me through difficult times.

O'Kane's provided a very professional service. The staff are some of the most caring, respectful people you could ever meet. They make sure your every need is taken care of and are quick to answer questions at any time. The funeral parlour itself is lovely and comfortable. I am so grateful that O'Kane's was recommended to me.

I cannot praise this company enough. Our mum died in the early hours of last Thursday. Every member of staff in OKanes with whom we came into contact over the last 8 days has been compassionate empathetic and respectful. This has ensure d that we have been able to give our mum a dignified parting from this world when we are all experiencing such a difficult time.
