Funeral in Purton

Hillier arranged the funeral of both my parents in law.
Both times they have been extremely professional, sympathetic, friendly and very trustworthy.
Thank you for helping to make the farewell for them special and unforgettable.

Very Professional Service

Very helpful, efficient and understanding staff. Tolerant of the many changes we made to our requirements and very willing to help with advice and suggestions. I would recommend their services.
The celebrant was amazing and the service at the crematorium went without a hitch. Many thanks for making a difficult day a little easier.

A genuinely serene experience.

What a genuinely serene experience, from our first meeting with the staff at Highworth some 8 months ago, no pressure, just guidance and ideas suggested to make the funeral of our father a day to pay our respects and say our final farewell. Every question we had was answered with sensitivity, and when the time came, all the arrangements were again dealt with precisely and showing us all so much respect.The celebrant spent time with us, allowing us to share memories and then gave us an opportunity to review and adjust the information. The service itself from collection of myself and my brother's in the limousine to Kingsdown Crematorium, was handled so respectfully and serenely. Huge thanks to all the staff involved every step of the way, especially Kelvin at Highworth.

Hillier's - Thank You

Caring and supportive right from the telephone call to the main office and the referral to the Highworth office and being able to talk to Kelvin. Kelvin's home visit was very professional. I was pleased to know that Mr Michael Hillier would be looking after us on June 10th having known him personally for nearly 60 years. All went very well and the family were very thankful.

Can't praise Hillier's funeral service and chapel of rest. When they say it all doesn't end with the funeral we are still here for you, it is very true. Sue Boyce went out of her way to deliver my Aunt Lallys ashes to Christ Church to be ready for a service. She also made sure it was what the family really wanted as it is the final farewell. Duty of care of the highest standard. The family could not get down to Swindon so Sue again came up trumps. Thank you so much again.

Our sincere and heartfelt thanks…

Thank you everyone at Hillier Funeral Service for the excellent, caring and professional service in arranging my husband's funeral. Nothing was to much trouble and from the moment we first contacted you, we felt complete confidence in you all. Your co-operation with everyone at the church combined to give my husband the beautiful service he so richly deserved. Knowing that you are there for us after the funeral is such a comfort and is much appreciated. Thank you from all the family and friends.
