We take care of all the planning and organisation of the funeral on your behalf. We deal with venues, ministers and celebrants. We arrange transport and coordinate all the timings to ensure the day goes ahead perfectly.
It’s the many little details that make the funeral unique to the person who has died. This might include a special coffin, an alternative hearse, their favourite flowers and music as well as reading and audiovisual or video montages.
We ensure that all the required legal and administrative paperwork is completed and complies with all the necessary regulations.
Once in our care your loved one will receive the highest standards of care. We will talk to you about dressing and embalming.
At each of our funeral homes, we have a beautiful Visiting Room where you can spend time with your loved one before the funeral.

Unique to Hillier’s is our bespoke Service and Wake rooms which you can use to host a private funeral before an unattended cremation, or prior to the committal at the crematorium or cemetery.
Our team is experienced at providing emotional support and guidance to families from the very first phone call you make to us, right through to the day of the funeral. We also offer a more formal bereavement support service to clients who need it after the funeral.
As a local family run business it’s really important to us to be part of our community and to give back. We don’t do this to tick a box like some corporate funeral directors do. We do this because we love where we live and work, and we want to contribute to making our community a better place for all for generations to come.
We are very honoured that many of our clients like to tell us how the service they received from us made them feel. We’d like to share some of these comments with you below.
