What Families Say
AI SummaryMany families emphasize the consistent care and dignity shown to their loved ones while they were in the funeral home's care, often describing how this reassurance helped them through an emotionally difficult time. Several describe how particular staff members—notably Hayley, Jill, and Chris—provided patient, compassionate guidance through arrangements, answered questions without judgment, and remained available by phone or email whenever needed.
Families repeatedly mention that nothing felt rushed on the day of the funeral itself; the service ran smoothly, with staff present to guide them through each moment and attend to practical details that might otherwise have added to their stress. Many note that the team accommodated last-minute changes and special requests, from personalised music and flowers to complex repatriation arrangements to different countries.
Communication throughout the process is a subject families return to often, with many describing how staff kept them informed at every stage, explained things clearly when unfamiliar with funerals, and made themselves available to address concerns. Several also mention that the personal, family-run nature of the business meant they felt treated as individuals rather than simply processing another arrangement.

CJ Reilly showed tremendous care and professionalism following the passing of our beloved mother. During such an incredibly difficult and emotional time, they made everything as easy and stress-free as possible. They treated our mother with the utmost dignity, respect and care and were always kind, patient and understanding with our family. Nothing was too much trouble and were able to deal with any last minute changes. Every detail was handled with great professionalism, and we felt reassured throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend their services to anyone who has to face the difficult experience of arranging a funeral for a loved one.

I cannot recommend CJ Reilly Funeral Services highly enough! We used them when mum passed away in January and did not hesitate to use them again when we lost dad 5 months later. It is hard to put into words how empathetic, caring and sensitive they are and how kindly they treated both mum and dad. Their attention to detail is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. They supported us through my ramblings and short notice changes to the service and always gave you as much time as you needed. They made a really sad and difficult process easier and ensured that everything ran smoothly. On the day of the funeral everything was perfect, respectful and so beautiful. We were looked after in every respect as we’re mum and dad. I would never trust or consider anyone else to look after my loved ones when the need arises…..they are truly second to none and I cannot thank them enough.
