As a local independent family run business, when you choose Hillier’s it’s our family who will be helping yours. Each and every one of our team is dedicated to helping local families through this difficult time. To us it’s not a job, it’s a vocation.
As family funeral directors, our family is here to help yours. From the first moment you contact us we are here for you, helping you through this difficult time in any way we can.
One of our experienced and professional funeral arrangers will spend time getting to know you and the person who has died. We will talk about their funeral wishes and your preferences to help you create a truly fitting send off.
We take care of all the planning and organisation of the funeral on your behalf. We deal with venues, ministers and celebrants. We arrange transport and coordinate all the timings to ensure the day goes ahead perfectly.
It’s the many little details that make the funeral unique to the person who has died. This might include a special coffin, an alternative hearse, their favourite flowers and music as well as reading and audiovisual or video montages.
We ensure that all the required legal and administrative paperwork is completed and complies with all the necessary regulations.
Once in our care your loved one will receive the highest standards of care. We will talk to you about dressing and embalming.
At each of our funeral homes, we have a beautiful Visiting Room where you can spend time with your loved one before the funeral.

Unique to Hillier’s is our bespoke Service and Wake rooms which you can use to host a private funeral before an unattended cremation, or prior to the committal at the crematorium or cemetery.
Our team is experienced at providing emotional support and guidance to families from the very first phone call you make to us, right through to the day of the funeral. We also offer a more formal bereavement support service to clients who need it after the funeral.
As a local family run business it’s really important to us to be part of our community and to give back. We don’t do this to tick a box like some corporate funeral directors do. We do this because we love where we live and work, and we want to contribute to making our community a better place for all for generations to come.
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.

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.. -
