When a loved one dies, selecting a funeral director is one of the first and most important decisions you will need to make. But as many people have never arranged a funeral before, it can be a difficult decision to make, so we’ve created this useful guide to help you make the right decision for you and your loved one.
In recent years, direct cremations have become an increasingly popular choice for families in Swindon, a trend significantly fueled by online companies investing millions in daytime television advertising.
While the appeal of a simple, cost-effective farewell is understandable, it’s vital to recognise the significant differences between these online service providers and the personalised care offered by local funeral directors like Hillier Funeral Service.
A direct cremation involves the cremation of a loved one without a formal service or mourners attending the crematorium, with the ashes returned to the family afterwards. However, this seemingly straightforward process can vary significantly depending on who you choose.
When opting for Hillier Funeral Service, your loved one remains here in Swindon, cared for in our established funeral home. This contrasts sharply with online providers who often transport the deceased to large, distant mortuary facilities.
