Services
Although a funeral is a time to say goodbye to your loved one, it can also be an occasion that celebrates their life. We believe in providing comprehensive support and guidance, which results in a tailored, personal funeral. As a reputable funeral director, we understand that your personal or religious beliefs, cultural background and budget may influence your decisions.
We are an established and reputable provider of worldwide repatriation. Our service includes collection and care of your loved one, statutory documentation, embalming and preparation, a zinc lined burial coffin or American casket, Air freight (inc surcharges and taxes) UK Customs entry and full support, advice and guidance throughout the process.
From a traditional black hearse to an elegant horse-drawn carriage, we provide a well-maintained fleet of funeral vehicles, suitable for all tastes and requirements. Black Daimler, Jaguar, and Mercedes hearses and limousines are available, as well as our disabled vehicle which can carry wheelchair users and up to three other passengers without the need to alight the wheelchair.
Flowers can express deep sentiment at funerals and can be a very personal symbol. Our skilled florists can produce all of the most traditional arrangements as well as more contemporary designs providing a varied selection for your unique needs. If there is a specific or unusual design that you would like, our florist would be more than happy to discuss your requirements.
Throughout history, memorials have been an important part of most cultures and civilisations. From the great pyramids of ancient Egypt to the 9/11 memorial garden in New York, they provide a welcome comfort at a profoundly difficult time. They also play an important part throughout the grieving process.

Ray, Jill, Chris and the full team were really good and professional. They were fully supportive to the family needs and was also sensitive towards the cultural intricacies that we had. They made it possible for an elegant farewell for my uncle. I’d personally recommend them for their professionalism, quality and etiquette.

Dear CJ Reilly funeral services,
If I was to write to write about your professionalism and the way you took care of our mother, than I would be writing a book. We used your service during a difficult time (COVID-19), yet you took care of both my family and our mother, whilst also obeying the law. Today, she was peacefully buried back home ( Congo DRC). Jill, Ray and the team, you guys are amazing! We hope we don’t have to use you guys again for a very very long time. But if we have to, then we know who to call. Thank you and God bless you
I would recommend you guys to the whole world

C. J Reilly was personally recommended to us to conduct our brother's funeral. The funeral home offer an excellent service run by a wonderful family.
They were so incredibly helpful right from the first phone call and supported us all the way through the process. Hayley and Jill were so knowledgeable and helpful and I really appreciate the care and compassion they showed to us and the family throughout the entire process. On the day of the funeral, Chris was totally in control and handled every detail. We could not have made it through the day and indeed this extremely difficult period without

I can not thank Chris, Gill and his team enough for the exceptional service, care and love they have shown to me and my family during the very difficult time planning for my father funeral.
The team went over and above their role to look after my father and care for us taking us through each stage planning and managing all communication to ensure all run smoothly and was the least amount of stress to me and my family.
On the day of the funeral, their service was impeccable. The team are so respectful, caring and amazingly professional but equally caring and just give you that reassurance just

They were excellent in providing support, understanding and help to myself and my Daughter following our loss.
Ray was our first point of contact and he was so kind, with gentle words and compassion. He dealt with all matters and always helped in any issues we had to decide upon. With his help and support he made a very difficult time for us somehow bearable.
Chris managed the arrangements on the day of the service and the respect he showed to Sue was perfect.
They should be proud of the work they did for us and we just want to say Thank You

C J Reilly were recommended to me by a family friend and I as so glad they did. I will never forget this wonderful team who brought my brother's coffin from London to be buried in Kent. So calming, professional and kind. I remember getting worried about all sorts from dealing with the cemetery to getting hold of a piece of music for the service and the lovely Hayley sorted it with no problem. In fact, nothing was a problem for this team.

OUTSTANDING WOULD RECOMMEND Chris and his family treated us as if we were family and made a saddening time absolutely stress free. We felt looked after from the first phone call all the way through the whole process and until the end. The service they provide is outstanding and professional but with a family oriented approach that showed care, love and compassion. My whole family will be eternally grateful and I would recommend using them. Chris is one of the kindest souls and just a genuine and warm-hearted person. Thank you for giving our uncle the send off he deserved and making it easier for
