    A very good company with a very helpful and compassionate team. Gill always communicated with compassion and would always get back to you with any queries you had. She explained things in a simple way and guided us on things we needed to make this very hard situation a lot easier.

    I will happily recommend them to others.

Thank you all

    This company is beyond amazing..
    I will only use CJ reilly for family/ friend funerals and have done since 2012.
    They are professional, caring, understanding. 
    It’s like having an extended family join you at your lowest time. Always there to help when needed and offering constant reassurance. 
    When my father passed and I didn’t have a clue what to do, they saved me from falling in on my self. Thank you!

    A lovely family service . Warm and kind from start to finish .

    At such a very sad time this company was beyond excellent. From our family’s initial meeting with Jill , in between regarding details and to the service itself Chris went above and beyond. We are so grateful for everything everyone did for Patricia’s/ Mums service . Absolutely second to none, thank you ❤️

  • 5 Glynis Haynes 9th Oct 2025

    C.J.Reilly Funeral Services were totally professional throughout. They treated us all with much kindness and consideration at such a difficult time. Special thanks to Chris, Hayley and Jill.

  • 5 Annie Still 9th Oct 2025

    We have used C.J Reilly Funeral Services previously for two other family members and I would not trust another funeral service for loved ones after they have passed. Chris, Hayley, Jill and all of the team have always treated us as a family and our loved one with the utmost respect. They listen, pay attention to detail, go above and beyond and we had people who attended the funeral service who said it was the loveliest and most personal funeral they had attended.

  • 5 Emily Olutunji 9th Oct 2025

    CJ Reilly were absolutely brilliant in how they dealt with us. From the moment we contacted them to collect our mother from the coroner, arranging viewing and the funeral itself.

    CJ Reilly are just fantastic and professional. This is not just a job for them, but a family run business which they are passionate about.

    This was the 3rd funeral we have hired CJ Reilly as directors and words cannot express our deep gratitude. Once you hire them, just have peace of mind knowing that they will take care of your loved one in the most sensitive a d delicate way. All in all this funeral as a whole was a job well done.

    Emily.
