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.

From the moment we met Reece at Hilliers, we felt completely at ease. This was our second time arranging a funeral, and after a poor experience with a different funeral director, we were nervous. He listened, understood, and guided us with … read more care and respect.
He showed nothing but professionalism, attentiveness, and compassion. Our dad was treated with the utmost dignity, and the day itself was a peaceful, beautiful farewell.
The recommendation of Alan Mulrooney as celebrant was an excellent one. He spoke about our dad as if he knew him personally, which made the service even more meaningful and special.
