Established in the 1920's we are proud that Hillier Funeral Service is one of the oldest family businesses in the area. Mark Hillier and his daughter, together with experienced staff, is dedicated to carrying out a personalised service to meet the individual wishes of each family. Every detail is considered with care when planning the funeral for your loved one. Funeral arrangements may be discussed at either of our premises or we are always happy to visit your home. We believe each funeral is unique and should be a fitting tribute to the life of your loved one. We are able to arrange funerals for all different religions, non religious ceremonies, press announcements, printing, catering, floral tributes, recording and forwarding donations, prepayment funerals and any other personal concerns or requirements you may have. We are able to provide horse drawn hearses, motorcycle hearses or a lorry to carry the coffin if required.

We've had our first selection box donations! 🍫🎁

A huge thank you to everyone who has already dropped off donations. These little boxes of festive treats will help put a smile on a child's face and make their Christmas that little bit brighter. ❤️

This year, we're proud to be supporting four wonderful local charities:

💚 BEST - Be a Better You
💚 Swindon Sisters Alliance
💚 The Nelson Trust
💚 Gorse Hill Baptist Church – Gorse Hill Community Fridge

There's still plenty of time to get involved, and every selection box, chocolate treat or bag of sweets makes a difference.

You can drop your donations off at any of our four funeral homes.
Let's see how many little smiles we can help create this Christmas!

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. 💚

Yesterday, it was our honour to lay a wreath at Highworth’s Remembrance Day service.

Rebecca was accompanied by her daughters as they joined the local community to pay their respects and remember all those who served, sacrificed and gave their lives for our freedom.

It was a special moment to come together, reflect and ensure that the importance of remembrance continues to be passed on to future generations.

We will remember them. 💚

🪔 Happy Diwali! 🪔

Wishing everyone celebrating a very happy Diwali, filled with light, happiness, love and togetherness.

Known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is a time of celebration, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. It’s a time for families and friends to come together, share special moments and look forward to new beginnings.

From everyone at Hillier Funeral Service, we wish you all a wonderful Diwali!✨

Today marks 108 years since the end of the First World War, a moment in history that we must never forget.

Behind every name, every uniform and every sacrifice was a person with a story. Someone's son, daughter, husband, wife, father or friend. Their bravery and courage during such uncertain times helped shape the future we have today.

We all have a story, and just like those who served and sacrificed their lives for us, they deserve to have theirs told, remembered and honoured.

We've created this illustration as a small token of our appreciation and gratitude to everyone who gave so much.

We will remember them. 🌺

If you're passing any of our funeral homes, you'll notice they've been decorated in tribute ahead of Remembrance Day.

It doesn't take much to show our respect for those who risked, and in many cases gave, their lives for our freedom. Their sacrifices should never be forgotten, and it's important that we continue to pass this tradition on to future generations.

So, whether it's proudly wearing our poppies or putting up decorations across our homes, these are small gestures that carry a much bigger meaning.

It's a tradition we hold close to our hearts, and one we will continue to honour every year. ❤️
