  • 5 Julia Silver 20th Aug 2023

    Just a note to acknowledge the fantastic job that was achieved by C.J Reilly Funeral Services in celebration of my late Father's life on the 15/08/23.

    The feedback that we received from everyone present was truly amazing and the Order of Service constructed was appreciated as a fitting tribute to my Father by both family and friends alike.

    Jill's advice and support throughout the planning process was extremely professional and there was a genuine empathy with us as a bereaved family.

    Chris's management and control of proceedings on the day as Funeral Director was exemplary from start to finish.

    In summary the service we received from this family run business was absolutely faultless and the attention to detail was profound.

    Without doubt the best around, Under the saddest of times me and my family won't go to anyone else other than cjreilly, Chris, Jill, Hayley and the team make everything seem personal rather than it just being a business... They are there to answer any question you have and to give you as much support during the whole process. Most importantly You know your loved one is in the best of care whilst the organisation of their day is being thoroughly thought through, All with the help and guidance from a brilliant team.

    Excellent service as always, made us all feel at ease during the difficult process and our departed loved one was beautifully taken care of and looked like they were peacefully asleep which gave us great comfort. This is my 2nd time having to use them but I always recommend them to people I know and if you haven’t used them I’d highly recommend them. 10/10 for service.

  • 5 Roger Hendicott 27th Jul 2023

    I cannot find words to describe my experience from the time that the door was first opened to me by Hayley to later meeting Chris at the service, but I will try. One word springs to mind- AMAZING.

    I could not have asked for a more professional quality service filled with friendliness, compassion, empathy, understanding and hearts that understood where you were at and ears that truly listened and understood your needs.

    A huge thank you to Hayley and Chris and all the staff - you were superb. God bless you all.

  • 5 Gareth Sammons 19th Jun 2023

    From start to finish C.J Reilly Funeral Service were fantastic. A member of staff came round our house and was very respectful to our situation. They went through the package they offered and said we could have bi spoked as well. They organised everything seamlessly and it was a weight of my mind. They even were able to arrange a wheelchair car for my Mother. I was so grateful on how well the day of the funeral went and it was all down to CJ Reilly Funeral Services. Thank you so much.

    The best decision I ever made. Compassionate and professional. They could not do enough to help us through this dreadfully sad time.

  • 5 Sharon Aldridge 13th May 2023

    Words cannot describe how Hayley and the team helped look after us as a family. They treated us with compassion and respect and nothing was too much trouble. At times we felt lost and Hayley was on hand to provide guidance and support throughout. She recommended a florist who provided flowers beyond our expectations, and found us Nicole our celebrant who was just amazing. On the day Chris and his team were not only professional and respectful , they held our hands from start to finish and they made a sad day beautiful and memorable. We honestly can’t thank you enough and will be forever grateful. 
    We would have no hesitation in recommending CJ Reilly they are the best.

  • 5 Manuela Nye 6th May 2023

    Thank you so much C.J. Reilly for repatriating my Uncle. Hayley was amazing throughout the whole process. Dealing with a loss and the practicalities of organising a funeral can be challenging and Hayley stepped in to support us every step of the way. No words can express how grateful I am Hayley for everything you did. Nothing was too much and you were there to answer any questions or concerns I had. I couldn’t have done it without you.
