A lovely family service . Warm and kind from start to finish .  I especially loved the statue of Jesus and Mary and the lovely peaceful space where we could visit our Mum. The arrangements were taken out of our hands by a highly experienced team . Quiet , respectful and gentle. Everything went smoothly. We were sad and they made it easy for us. Thank you

Jill was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout. Chris was also friendly, respectful and thoughtful, and helpful in guiding our family members to carry Mum’s coffin. Even small details such as helping us to wipe the mud off our shoes after the burial were seen to. All in all, a very caring and professional service- thank you very much.

    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.

  • 5 Vivienne Henry 16th Sep 2025

    Cjreily directors are extremely professional and ooze empathy. They are the perfect funeral directors to get you through what can be said as one of the most challenging emotional experiences. Haley, in particular, has a natural warmth that enables you to feel at ease and she really understands and listens thoughtfully to any demands. I have used Cjreily on 3 occasions in the past 2 years and each time they have been marvellous!

    CJ Reilly Funeral Directors:

    I cannot speak highly enough of CJ Reilly Funeral Directors. Their service is nothing short of excellent. From the very first call to the final farewell, they made us feel not just like clients, but like part of the Reilly family.

    I have known Chris and his family for many years. They were instrumental in the dignified repatriation of our beloved mother to Zimbabwe, and over the years, they have walked alongside us through many funerals of close friends and family. Their consistency, compassion, and professionalism have never wavered.

    Throughout our recent journey, we truly felt at home. Nothing was ever too much. Chris and his family were always available, day or night, to offer help, guidance, and a listening ear. Their presence gave us comfort, and their attention to detail brought peace in a time of sorrow.

    Thank you, Chris, and the entire Reilly family, for being there for us once again. You carry out this sacred work with such grace and heart. We are forever grateful.

    — Misheck Saineti & Family
