About Us

We are a truly local and independent funeral director business - owned and run by the Hillier family since 1923. Today the team is led by father and daughter, Mark and Rebecca Hillier.

As with any family business with a long history, the way we do things today is influenced by our heritage and our respect of traditional values. Yet we always look to the future, we embrace change, adapt and innovate the way we do things to ensure that our clients continue to receive the highest quality service.

The Hillier Way is to always put people at the heart of everything we do. The people entrusted into our care for their final farewell. The people who we guide and support through the experience of losing a loved one. And our whole team of people who work with such care and compassion to arrange funerals for families that are unique in every way.

Our years of experience has taught us to always listen, to always be open, honest and truthful and to always give back to the community we live in and are part of. And our hope and wish is to continue to serve families in and around Swindon for many years to come.

    Both Hillier’s and Kingshill House come highly recommended. Having been told by long-standing members of staff at the nursing home in which my mother died, plus friends and other Swindonians, that Hillier's are the 'only' … read more firm to use, I chose them - having always been Co-op in the past. I was not disappointed. The funeral held at Kingshill House was perfect. The tasteful service room beats a cold, impersonal and soulless crematorium any day of the week, and that we had the wake there too was just right rather than having to go elsewhere. As there were no time limits nor the usual conveyor belt scenarios it gave us time to celebrate her life as we wished. People could also slip off into the chapel to say their goodbyes without fuss as it was so easy and informal. Nick was quietly efficient and so kind. Him suggesting the colourful coffin was genius and so appropriate for Mum attracting the most favourable comments, however, the picture in the catalogue does not do it justice by a long way. Despite more mourners turning up than anticipated, no panic ensued, and everything went smoothly with the staff all-but invisible throughout.

Bringing Old Buildings Back To Life

As part of our commitment to our local heritage, in 2022 we carefully renovated Kingshill House in Swindon to bring it back to life. In October 2024, we started our next project to restore Lime Kiln House in Royal Wootton Bassett which will become our fourth funeral home. More details coming soon...
