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.

    We cannot thank the team at Hillier’s Funeral Directors enough for the care, dignity and compassion they showed our family during such a difficult time. From the very first phone call they were kind, patient and completely understanding … read more of what we needed.
    They handled every detail with professionalism and respect, making the whole process far less stressful than we expected. Nothing was too much trouble, and they took the time to explain everything clearly and gently.
    Their support meant more to us than we can properly express and it was comforting to know our auntie/sister was in such caring hands. We would highly recommend Reece and Neil to anyone needing a funeral service carried out with warmth, dignity and true compassion.
    Thank you so much from Debbie, Lucy and David..
