Affordable Funerals
For Your Loved One
Whatever your needs or budget, we'll help you to create a unique send off.

We understand that losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times in life. We are here to help and look after you and your loved one as if you are members of our own family.
The Hillier family has been caring for the people of Swindon and its surrounding areas for four generations. Our experienced team of funeral professionals will treat you with the utmost care, compassion, empathy and understanding as we help you arrange a fitting funeral for your loved one.
Our approach is to spend time getting to know you and the person who has died as this allows us to help you to create a truly personal farewell. No matter what type of funeral you decide, big or small, we always go the extra mile to make sure you have all the guidance and support you need at every stage.
And with us, our care and support doesn’t end on the day of the funeral. Our Bereavement Care Service is available free of charge to help you through the difficult grieving process.

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

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.

Our Direct Cremation package offers an unattended cremation as lowest cost cost option.
Your loved one's cremation will be handled with the highest respect by our team at Kingsdown crematorium.
This allows you to say goodbye in a private way, without the pressure of a formal 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.

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.
