Jo and the team at Hillier's made a horrible situation bearable. We live out of county and the transportation of our loved one was seemless. All our wishes were meet without exception. Every email (and there were lots), were answered … read more immediately. We cannot fault the service we received and at a very reasonable price. Thank you to everyone involved, much gratitude from Rachel & the Driscoll Family. -

Incredibly Polite and Sincere. They assisted us with our requests, for my late brother -with so much dignity and humbleness (it actually brings tears to my eyes, just recalling how patient they were).
Thank you. -

From the minute he came to collect Mum right through to the completion of the service Mike has been first class.

Both Hillier’s and Kingshill House come highly recommended. Having been told by long-standing members of staff at the nursing home in which my mother died, plus friends and other Swindonians, that Hillier's are the 'only' … read more firm to use, I chose them - having always been Co-op in the past. I was not disappointed. The funeral held at Kingshill House was perfect. The tasteful service room beats a cold, impersonal and soulless crematorium any day of the week, and that we had the wake there too was just right rather than having to go elsewhere. As there were no time limits nor the usual conveyor belt scenarios it gave us time to celebrate her life as we wished. People could also slip off into the chapel to say their goodbyes without fuss as it was so easy and informal. Nick was quietly efficient and so kind. Him suggesting the colourful coffin was genius and so appropriate for Mum attracting the most favourable comments, however, the picture in the catalogue does not do it justice by a long way. Despite more mourners turning up than anticipated, no panic ensued, and everything went smoothly with the staff all-but invisible throughout.

Share the Details of a Loved One’s Funeral with Family & Friends
Letting people know that a loved one has died isn’t an easy thing to do. To help make this a little easier, we offer a complimentary online funeral notice to all our clients which details the funeral arrangements and can be shared with family and friends.
People can also leave a message of condolence as well as find out information about your wishes for flowers and donations.

Openness and transparency are very important to us, so we have created a Funeral Cost Calculator to help you get an understanding of the overall costs of the funeral you wish to arrange. Having visibility of the costs in advance allows you to make informed decisions and choices about the funeral arrangements.
All funeral directors are required by law to publish a price list for a standardised set of products and services.
The aim of these documents is to provide transparency so you can consider your options, make informed choices and compare prices between different funeral directors.
The range of options and choices available to you at Hillier extend far beyond the standardised price list. We will work closely with you to arrange any funeral you wish, big or small, that suits your individual needs and budget.
