About Hillier Funeral Service

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.
