We are a truly local and independent funeral director business - owned and run by the Hillier family since 1923. Today the team is led by father and daughter, Mark and Rebecca Hillier.
As with any family business with a long history, the way we do things today is influenced by our heritage and our respect of traditional values. Yet we always look to the future, we embrace change, adapt and innovate the way we do things to ensure that our clients continue to receive the highest quality service.
The Hillier Way is to always put people at the heart of everything we do. The people entrusted into our care for their final farewell. The people who we guide and support through the experience of losing a loved one. And our whole team of people who work with such care and compassion to arrange funerals for families that are unique in every way.
Our years of experience has taught us to always listen, to always be open, honest and truthful and to always give back to the community we live in and are part of. And our hope and wish is to continue to serve families in and around Swindon for many years to come.

To care for you and your loved one as if you are members of our own family
To be open, honest and truthful in all we do
To always deliver excellence and go the extra mile
To give back to the community we live in and are part of

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.

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. -

Well there isn't really much to say apart from how fantastic Hilliers are in particular a special shout out to Mike. 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! -

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. -

Hillier's at Highworth dealt with my mother's funeral arrangements in March. The funeral arranger, Jo, was was accommodating, compassionate, friendly and understanding. She explained everything clearly and answered all our queries … read more and concerns honestly. She gave balanced advice enabling us to make our own choices about the how we wanted the service to run at Kingsdown Crematorium.
