This is rather a delayed review but CJ Reilly looked after our 16 year old daughter's funeral in April.  They were sensitive and supportive - everything we needed at that most difficult time. Nothing was too much bother and we really appreciated all the personal touches that made what was the most difficult day of our lives memorable in a good way.  We had already used them for other family members and knew they were who we wanted for our girl's send off.  Thank you again to Chris, Hayley and the team.

    Thank you C J Reilly Funeral Services for your support and assistance after our Mums passing. Offering guidance and help when it was most needed was really appreciated. The kindness shown to all the family before and on the day was exceptional. 

  • 5 Tayo Oyetan 16th May 2025

  • 5 Anne Boufadene 15th May 2025

    So very thankful to Chris, Jill & Hayley as to how much everything came together. 
    I felt calmer when I visited Sharon, knowing it had been my mum's home, Tony's home, Phyllis’s, and Denise’s too for a while. And knew you were taking good care of her. 
    Your premises are beautiful, calming and discreet. It all felt very much a safe space. 

    Thank you for taking care of me, Sabrina & Karim, and all the family and friends. 
    And Hayley, thank you for your guidance and advice. I felt in safe hands all the way. 

    Love and warmest wishes for your family, and the continued care of your clients and their loved ones. 
    You have a great legacy, and proud that Sharon got the best.

  • 5 Victor Williams 6th May 2025

    I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by C.J Reilly Funeral Directors. From the very start, the team handled every detail with the utmost professionalism and care.

    They took wonderful care of my mother, and I truly felt reassured knowing she was in such capable hands. The repatriation process to Africa was managed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that everything went smoothly without any concerns.

    It’s easy to understand why C.J Reilly has such an excellent reputation among their peers. Jill and Heather were particularly outstanding, offering not only practical support but also genuine compassion during such a challenging time.

    The service was cost-effective, with excellent communication at every step. What stood out most was the personable approach; they went above and beyond, making the process feel both smooth and reassuring.

    A truly outstanding service that I would highly recommend.

  • 5 Jill Farrelly 6th May 2025

    Our family were so pleased with the extremely professional way CJ Reilly handled our dads care and organised his funeral. We have used their services before and would recommend them to other families.

  • 5 Jeanette Baker 6th May 2025

    From start to finish c.j Reilly was excellent. Thank you for all the help you give Jeannette and Lorraine on this sad time we are all so grateful for all you done xx

  • 5 Jennifer Stokes 5th May 2025

    I was first introduced to C J REILLY FUNERAL SERVICES about 20 years ago by a family friend who is also a good friend to CHRIS. I had tragically lost my SON and CHRIS was so involved and dedicated in the REPARTRIATION of his body back to AFRICA. I came back to use their services in 2019 when we lost our brother to cancer. JILL (Chris's wife) was really amazing in coordinating a difficulty that croped up at the last minute prior to the BURIAL date. I never forgot this wonderful couple since then and how they get so involved and immersed in his FUNERAL preparations. They are so dedicated in making sure your loved one gets a FIRST class sending off. Hence, the reason I came back the third time for MOM'S funeral which was so outstanding.

    GOD bless this wonderful family!

    I have attended many funerals, both those that affected me directly and those of extended families. I have felt very connected with O'Relly's efforts and attention to the bodies and persons who attend every occasion.

  • 5 Vanessa Semmanda 2nd May 2025

    100/10 Very professional. Wouldn’t have asked for a better funeral service provider, they were all very understanding and caring. They made my mum’s funeral arrangements very easy and manageable. Thank you C.J Reilly Team !

  • 5 Kim Bagwell 2nd May 2025

    They were recommended to me and I was so glad they were. It was a stressful time but nothing was too much trouble. Hayley talked me through everything no question was silly. As it’s not something I had dealt with before. On the day chris and team were amazing he talked me through each bit. Gave me the time to say my last goodbye to mum. If you need a funeral director. You will not go wrong with this company. I haven’t got a bad word for them. Absolutely amazing throughout it all. Would definitely use again if needed as I couldn’t fault their care and compassion throughout the whole process 

  • 5 Claire O'Dwyer 2nd May 2025

  • 5 Tracey Armstrong 20th Feb 2025

    We can not thank the family - Hayley, Chris and Jill for their compassion and support at a very difficult time from the immediate collection of Mum (out of hours) to laying her to rest. Hayley attended to the very difficult procedures that we endured and the care Mum received was amazing which enabled us to say goodbye at the end of 4 weeks in their care! Mums day was Beautiful and well organised thanks to the Funeral Director Chris who was Gracious and kind throughout the Funeral Procession, the family were never rushed and we were advised of every detail on route and everything just flowed perfectly. We had an Irish Piper Hayley organised who was exceptional and well received by everyone (highly recommended). I would not think of using anyone other than C J Reilly Funeral Services, the family business, love and support was truly amazing and heart warming and Hayley and Jill were always at the end of the phone when needed! Thank you for everything xxx
