Choosing the right funeral provider during a time of loss is deeply personal. At Hillier’s Funeral Service, we understand both the emotional and practical aspects of saying goodbye. As a supportive, family-run funeral home with deep Swindon roots since 1923, we provide compassionate care, professional expertise, and community trust to ensure your loved one receives the send-off they deserve.
- A Family Legacy Rooted in Community
With over 100 years of service and now four generations caring for Swindon families, Hillier’s is not just part of the community, we are the community. Our original branches in Swindon, Highworth, and Royal Wootton Bassett (with a new opening in 2025) reflect our long-standing dedication to local families. That legacy builds trust – people know us, see us, and rely on us in their most vulnerable moments.
- Truly Personalised, Compassionate Support
As an independent, family-run service, we’re free from corporate restrictions – which means our focus is 100% on you, not shareholders. We cherish getting to know each family story, enabling us to craft bespoke funerals that feel deeply personal. Whether it’s a woodland burial, a direct cremation, or a non-religious ceremony, no request is too small. Our bereavement support continues well beyond the day of the service, offering ongoing care to help families navigate grief.
- Professional Expertise Easing the Journey
Arranging a funeral involves countless details – from legal paperwork to coordinating venues, flowers, and transport. As experts, we step in to manage all practicalities, easing your burden during an emotionally charged period. Whether liaising with churches, crematoriums or planning for celebrants, our knowledge ensures each funeral runs smoothly and respectfully.
- Transparent Pricing & Tailored Packages
We believe in open, honest pricing. Our online cost calculator and clear pricing details allow families to plan according to their wishes and budget. Unlike corporate providers, we’re able to offer flexible, bespoke packages, and pre-paid funeral plans, for greater peace of mind.
- Deep Community Ties & Local Understanding
Our intimate knowledge of the local area allows us to honour traditions and cultural nuances that matter most to you. We partner with local florists, clergy, venue hosts, and support services to create meaningful, seamless events – rooted in community, delivered with warmth.
- Ongoing Bereavement Care & Emotional Support
Losing someone is just the beginning of a journey. Our free, dedicated bereavement care service supports families well after the funeral has ended. From practical advice to local grief groups, we’re committed to walking alongside you – every step – offering comfort when you need it most.
