Reilly & Son Funeral Home, Inc.

Reilly & Son Funeral Home, Inc. has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Albany County, New York, for over seven decades. The business traces its roots to 1946 when Herbert W. Reilly, Sr. entered the funeral profession, founding Boyle & Reilly Funeral Home. In 1950, the family established its first location on Central Avenue in Colonie as H.W. Reilly Funeral Home, and in 1963, the firm was renamed Reilly & Son Funeral Home, Inc. Herbert W. Reilly, Jr. obtained his funeral director’s license that same year, continuing the family legacy. A second location on Voorheesville Avenue in Voorheesville was opened in 1980, allowing the funeral home to better serve the surrounding communities.

Now in its third generation of family leadership, Reilly & Son is guided by a philosophy of providing quality service without compromise. The funeral home offers a full range of services, including traditional burial services and cremation services, both of which can be tailored to reflect the unique life and wishes of each individual. Families may also take advantage of pre-planning options, which allow for thoughtful arrangement of one’s own funeral in advance, as well as prepayment plans that lock in today’s prices and ease the future financial burden on loved ones. Financial assistance is available for those in need, and the funeral home accepts major credit cards, checks, and other payment methods.

Accessibility and convenience are priorities: both locations feature wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking lots, and ample on-site parking is provided. The staff is available around the clock, every day of the week, to answer questions, offer guidance, or simply lend a listening ear. The funeral home also provides grief support resources and encourages personal contact with bereaved families through handwritten notes and visits, recognizing the profound healing power of human connection.

Reilly & Son Funeral Home serves families from two convenient locations: 1200 Central Avenue in Colonie (Albany) and 9 Voorheesville Avenue in Voorheesville. Each facility is designed to provide a warm, dignified setting for visitations, funeral services, and memorial gatherings. The funeral home maintains strong ties to local newspapers and obituary listings, and its website offers an online guest book while still emphasizing the importance of in-person support.

Whether assisting with an immediate need, helping with pre-arrangements, or providing aftercare, Reilly & Son Funeral Home, Inc. remains dedicated to honoring every life with respect, professionalism, and heartfelt compassion. The Reilly family’s long-standing commitment to the community ensures that each family receives personalized attention during their time of loss.
