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.
To care for you and your loved one as if you are members of our own family
To be open, honest and truthful in all we do
To always deliver excellence and go the extra mile
To give back to the community we live in and are part of
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.

The team at Hillier’s made a difficult time in our lives that much easier. They really wanted to know as much detail about my grandfather, so they could really get a feel for what kind of man he was. Nick matched the perfect celebrant (Pauline) … read more based on my granddad’s personality, allowing us to give him the send off that he would have be proud of.
They were respectful and caring throughout the whole process.
The support they offer is second to none. We couldn’t recommend them enough.
Thank you to Nick and the rest of the Hilliers family.
From Fred Davidson’s loved ones. -

From the start contact was sympathetic and understanding. Arrangements were not pressured but rather advisory and understanding of circumstances. Being a local undertaker they are not encumbered by needs of a large organisation to standardise … read more practices and can prioritise individual needs.

Wendy, Dave and family would like to thank everyone at Hillier Funeral Services for helping, organising and ‘holding our hands’ throughout the whole process of planning the most amazing funeral for my father recently. The consideration … read more and care was provided with sensitivity, dignity and respect throughout this difficult and emotional time.
Special thanks to Sue and Jerry who provided everything we asked for in a very prompt and professional manner and delivered to us with great sincerity, from a Bugler to a bubble machine we had it all. We appreciate every moment spent with us at this difficult and emotional time. Thank you. -

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...
Hillier Funeral Service is one of Swindon’s oldest family business. We have three funeral homes covering Swindon, Wroughton, Royal Wootton Bassett, Purton, Chiseldon, Wanborough, Cricklade, Lydiard Millicent, Highworth, Fairford, Lechlade, Shrivenham and local villages.
