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.

    Hillier offered the perfect package for my husband's funeral. They listened to our requests and recommended a perfect celebrant who led a wonderful service. They were always on hand to answer our questions and accommodated our requirements … read more without hesitation. Hillier were a big support and ensured an extremely sad time for us ran smoothly. I am glad we chose Hiller Funeral Service, I knew that we and my late husband were in caring and capable hands. Thank you.

    Hilliers were incredible, professional and caring in every area and detail from Nick organising all of the arrangements from start to finish. Dad looked his best for his big day and Nick even offered him his favourite double espresso whilst … read more I was in the chapel of rest with him. The cremation proceedings were absolutely flawless and I'm so happy dad had the send off he deserved with the gentlest of care from the team.
    I could not recommend them enough. Jo and Adam Lucas

    I would like to thank Hillers for providing a very caring funeral service, for my Dad Ernie. They ensured each step of the way went as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Hilliers, Old Town, Swindon.

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...
