We offer several options designed to provide a dignified and personal send-off without unnecessary financial burden.

Simple Funerals

Our Simple Funeral package offers a traditional burial or cremation at a reduced cost.

While some elements are fixed, like the day and time of the service, you can still personalize it with your choice of music, flowers, readings, and more.

This option is a great way to have a simple, traditional funeral that is still personal and meaningful.

Private Service

At Hillier's we are able to offer a private funeral service in our beautiful service room at Kingshill House prior to a direct cremation at Kingsdown Crematorium.

We also have a wake room which gives you the option to hold the entire gathering at Kingshill House without the need to visit the crematorium or travel between venues for the wake.

Arranging a Funeral

We understand that every detail of a funeral, including cost, is important. Our team is here to help you find thoughtful ways to manage your budget while still creating a beautiful tribute.

Getting Started

We can meet you at one of our funeral homes in Old Town, Swindon, Rodbourne Cheney, or Highworth. We can also come to your home if thafs more comfortable for you. During this meeting, we'll gently walk you through the decisions that need to be made.

Thoughtful Ways to Manage the Cost of a Funeral

We can guide you through a range of options that can help reduce the overall expense without compromising on care or dignity.

  • Considering cremation: cremation is a simpler process and generally less expensive than burial, as it doesn't require a burial plot.
  • Explore a direct cremation: A direct cremation is a cremation without a service at the crematorium. It provides you with the flexibility to hold a separate, personalised memorial service later at a time and place that works for you and your family.
  • Choose an off-peak service time: Earlier in the day slots can be cheaper.
  • Make personal contributions: You can save money by providing your own flowers, creating your own service sheets, or arranging transport in your own vehicles. We can help you identify other areas where you can add a personal touch while also being mindful of costs.

    Hilliers have been amazing from start to finish.
    So compassionate and caring. From the way they took my grandad in their care from leaving the house, to the chapel of rest to the funeral.
    Cannot recommend Hilliers enough.
    Thank you all

    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.

From the minute he came to collect Mum right through to the completion of the service Mike has been first class. Nothing … read more has been too much trouble, he is warm, caring and compassionate and my family and I are so grateful to him. Mike you are an absolute star and I will recommend Hilliers all the way!
  • Avatar Rachael Wilson a year ago ★★★★★
    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.
