Hilliers we’re great from the first call to them. Nothing was to much trouble and everything was clear and simple which was exactly what we needed during this difficult time. The day of funeral the team were on hand to guide and help us through everything and can’t thank them enough for all their support

Making a phone call to arrange my wife's funeral was without doubt the hardest and most dreaded call I have ever made. Kelvin was so kind and had a wonderful calming manner, between him and Chris, they guided me and my family through this terrible time.
Kelvins attention to detail and communication skills are exemplary.
Thank you again for everything you have done

An excellent service from the Highworth branch. We were always kept in the loop, no request was too small and everything was done as requested. The coffin and service went very smoothly.

We as a family would like to thank Hiller Funeral Service. Sadly our lovely Father passed at home in December. We were devastated however from the minute we rang Hillier on that day we were looked after with great compassion and professionalism. Nick literally held our hand all the way through he is an absolute credit to the team. On the day of the funeral Neil the conductor and his team acted with great dignity and empathy. We would highly recommend Hiller’s they will look after you and the family in your time of need .

Professional Funeral Service

Hillier from start to finish of my contact with them have been excellent.
They recently arranged and carried out the funeral for my Mother. From the time Mum completed her funeral plan a few years ago to completing her service their professionalism made the whole experience easy for my family.
They were caring, compassionate and understanding. I thoroughly recommend Hillier Funeral Service.

Very professional and compassionate

At a very distressing time I found Hilliers staff very helpful and compassionate. Nothing was to much trouble and I very much appreciate the help they gave me as I had no experience of arranging a funeral. Very professional.

Hillier’s were amazing in the preparation for and on the day of my mum’s funeral.

Everyone was so professional, courteous and respectful.

They all made a difficult time as easy as it could be, from the first phone call in the middle of the night when she died to the moment we were dropped off after the service.

I have taken a few funeral services and dealt with a number of funeral directors, but their service is always outstanding and that’s why I had no hesitation in recommending Hilliers to my family when my mum died.

Hilliers dealt with My Dads funeral in a very professional manner but very caring and so helpful in every way. Not at all pushy with the choosing of everything they just showed us all the options and left it completely up to us. They made a very sad time much easier to bare without the stress of arranging a funeral
Many thanks

Excellent Service

Michael, John and their team at Hilliers gave such excellent, caring and professional support to our father early last year arranging our mothers funeral, that we did not hesitate to call them when sadly our father also passed away just before Christmas.
Again the support from John, attention to detail from the staff at the beautiful Chapel of Rest and Michael's smooth running of the day of the funeral all contributed to a first class send off for our Dad. Thank you.
