Hillier Funeral Service Reviews 

Hilliers were a model of professionalism, courtesy and compassion. They handled everything perfectly and made what was a difficult time much easier to bear. Kelvin McCarthy, who managed and directed our funeral, was outstanding: thoughtful, sympathetic and made sure every detail was as we wanted it. We could not rate them, nor Kelvin, highly enough.

I wanted to express my utmost gratitude to Hilllier Funeral Service for the professional and compassionate way they dealt with my wife Maria's funeral, and in such difficult circumstances , it was such a comfort . The process of arranging the funeral, cars, flowers, service card, music, photos was magnificent .The Reverend John Railton was excellent in conducting the service.A lot was done on line and over the telephone , but everything was faultless and went exceptionally well. I cannot thank the Hillier team enough, and I highly recommend them.

On two occasions Hillier's Highworth have given us an excellent service with kind consideration and one hundred per cent attention to detail.
Thank you to the Team, we are most grateful.

My step-mother Marie Anderson died on 10th January 2021. My first thought was for a simple funeral and I told John Edwards of my wishes. After a couple of days I had received requests from her cousin in Northern Ireland for the funeral to be streamed and, thinking of my sister in Canada, also recorded. I informed the funeral arranger of these requests. Nothing fazed him. He also arranged for a humanist/civil celebrant and his choice could not have been better. The service she gave sounded like she had known Marie for years. There was one strange request from Marie's former carers. They wanted to dress her. No problem. Hillier's forwarded condolence cards from some of Marie's old friends. I was able to let them have details of the webcast. This was much appreciated. In fact everyone who has seen the funeral has said the same thing, "I know I shouldn't say this about a funeral but I really enjoyed it." The carers, who attended the crematorium, all remarked at how well they had been treated. You all did Marie proud. Thank you,

Becky from Hillier Funeral Service was professional and calming when my parents were planning Peter's funeral. Becky built a trusting relationship straight away and put both Janet and Peter at ease during a difficult and personal first meeting

Becky was great at staying in touch and answering any questions we had before and after the funeral

Michael was fantastic at the funeral. He was both approachable and respectful. He made Janet feel supported during a difficult occasion.

Highly recommend Hilliers. They were so accommodating and understanding at such a difficult time and guided us through the process so that everything ran smoothly. The celebrant matched to our family was perfect.

Excellent service, John was very good and did all he could to make the funeral and service go smoothly. Thank you.

I would like to thank Hilliers for taking care of my mother’s funeral throughout a very sad and difficult time. Tracey Hull was kind, compassionate and professional. She guided me through planning the funeral and kept in constant contact with me with regards to progress and updates. On the day of the service I was respectfully looked after and the staff were friendly and sympathetic. Hugh Milsom the funeral celebrant conducted a beautiful service.
Hilliers were absolutely fantastic, very professional, understanding and supportive from the day my mum died through to the funeral service. I would highly recommend Hillier Funeral Service to anyone planning their loved ones funeral.

Kind, considerate and helpful at all times!

All the staff from Hillier’s showed my family and I the kindest care and attention possible. From my first phone call with John we could not have asked for a more professional caring service. Despite lockdown every effort was made to ensure that my father’s wishes were realised. Dignified, very caring and experienced staff every step of the way. Thank you

The Hilliers team were kind, thoughtful and professional throughout the process. It’s such a horrible time to go through, that it’s good to have the additional support from the funeral company. They helped with every request and query, making me feel that nothing was a bother. Highly recommend them.

From start to finish, I had the most kind sincere, and professional service. Nothing was to much. I cannot recommend Hilliers highly enough.

We are very pleased with the service and attention that we received and would not hesitate to recommend Hillier Funeral Service to others.

My mother, sister and I were extremely grateful for the wonderful service that the staff at Hilliers gave us at every step of the process of my father's funeral. The staff, especially Neil who we mostly dealt with, were professional, empathetic and knowledgeable. They were very patient, answered all of our questions, gave us a range of options and were very reassuring. We were very happy with the funeral service they provided. The staff followed all of our requests and made it possible for us to give Dad the send off he deserved.

At an incredibly sad time, Sue from Hilliers was there, Sue listened to what we wanted (which was not the norm) and carried out our wishes to the letter. Thank you all for your kindness and taking such care of my Stepdad x

Thank you very much for your support and professional service you provided for us as a church when a member passed away. You acted professinally and anytime we called we had someone on the phone to help even in the evening. Every request we made even last minute ones were honoured. Your professinalism was at it best. Thanks once again

Dad died while we were all sheilding. We decided on a Direct Cremation, with no fuss, no flowers etc and we are going to celebrate his life when we can all be together to do it properly.
So Hilliers werent going to make loads of money from our needs....
This made not one jot of difference!
Their care, compassion and service was everything we would expect if we had been paying for their top funeral package.
we highly recommend them.

Excellent service from beginning to end. Every detail covered and we were kept informed at every stage. The representative was first class showing sympathy and patience throughout.

Hillier Funeral Service helped us in all ways to have a seemless funeral for our father. From the initial meeting to the final burial all was calm and extremely organised. We have dealt with Hillier's over 2 generations of our family.

This was my first time organising a funeral. I researched locally online. My decision was to go with a family firm. From the very first contact by phone I felt totally reassured that I was in good hands. My choice of further communication was mainly by email (phoning could lead to blubbing when people are so kind) and every small to large query was promptly answered and advice given when needed. The photo slides added in to the service was wonderful. I unreservedly recommend Hillier to anyone planning their loved ones funeral.
