We as a family cannot Thank C J Reilly enough .We chose them to undertake my brothers funeral .My brother was a Chelsea fan so we wanted a blue coffin for him and it exceeded our expectations. Jill and Hayley have empathy in abundance. So very patient and understanding with all questions and I had a few .On the day of my brothers funeral Chris and rest of the team were excellent. Jill picked a wonderful celebrant called Beaulieu to take the service and she conducted a wonderful service .Overall C.J Reilly were outstanding and gave my brother the funeral he deserved .We had all the ideas of what we wanted and they made it all happen .We would highly recommend C J Reilly .

    A great local company that provided a professional and dignified service.   They ask what you want and don’t tell you what to have.  Very personal approach that showed  how important the day was for us as a family and not just a days work.

  • 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.

  • 5 Julia Johnson 10th Jul 2025

    I can't thank CJ Reilly enough for the wonderful support  and service you gave us with arranging mum's funeral.  There wasn't a second that I could fault.  The whole team on the day were very supportive and guided us all so well.  There is not enough praise that I can truly give. 

    If I could add more than 5 stars for the services I would.  

    Thank you all again 

  • 5 Natalie Chipoyera 10th Jul 2025

    I would like extend my deepest gratitude for your exceptional service in repatriating my uncle. 
    Your professionalism and compassion during this challenging time were truly appreciated. Not forgetting the dignified arrangement you provided for the body viewing. Thank you for all that you do. 

  • 5 Victoria Marshall 9th Jul 2025

    I would highly recommend C J Reilly. From the very first phone call to the day they were so kind and helpful. Nothing was a problem and they guided us through the whole process with empathy.

  • 5 Melissa Gillespie 8th Jul 2025

  • 5 Nigel Pitt 8th Jul 2025

    Hayley, Chris and Co. were brilliant going above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5 Maria James 29th Jun 2025

    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.
