We can not thank the family - Hayley, Chris and Jill for their compassion and support at a very difficult time from the immediate collection of Mum (out of hours) to laying her to ...  rest. Hayley attended to the very difficult procedures that we endured and the care Mum received was amazing which enabled us to say goodbye at the end of 4 weeks in their care! Mums day was Beautiful and well organised thanks to the Funeral Director Chris who was Gracious and kind throughout the Funeral Procession, the family were never rushed and we were advised of every detail on route and everything just flowed perfectly. We had an Irish Piper Hayley organised who was exceptional and well received by everyone (highly recommended). I would not think of using anyone other than C J Reilly Funeral Services, the family business, love and support was truly amazing and heart warming and Hayley and Jill were always at the end of the phone when needed! Thank you for everything xxx more
