What families say

"I cannot thank Hillier Funeral Service enough for the care, kindness and support they gave me while arranging my mum's funeral. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to help make a very difficult time a little easier. Everything was handled with professionalism, compassion and attention to detail, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble."

— Sonia B

"From the moment we met Reece at Hilliers, we felt completely at ease. This was our second time arranging a funeral, and after a poor experience with a different funeral director, we were nervous. He listened, understood, and guided us with care and respect. Our dad was treated with the utmost dignity, and the day itself was a peaceful, beautiful farewell."

— R Howells (about Reece)

"A special thank you to Julie Groom, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process. She was so kind, patient and helpful, always taking the time to answer questions and offer support whenever it was needed. Her caring approach made a huge difference to me and my family."

— Sonia B (about Julie Groom)

"We lost our Mum on the 7th December at home. Right from that first phone call, Hilliers were so supportive and respectful at the worst time for us as a family. On the day, Rebecca walked in front of the Hearse from the family home out of the street, such a touching thing to do and all were there silently supporting throughout."

— Alison Dunn (about Reece)

"Ray and I would like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone involved in the care of our beautiful daughter Lyndsay. We will forever be grateful to them all, but especially to JULIE GROOM who was our point of contact throughout this the worst time in our lives, she helped guide us through our nightmare with the most caring, empathetic, professional and gentle manner. Her patience and understanding of our needs was amazing nothing was too much for her. Julie definitely went above and beyond — she accomplished everything we asked and did it with such gentle grace we will be eternally grateful to Julie."

— Jackie Walsh (about Julie Groom)

"They were kind and hugely helpful at difficult times in our family's life. They were both professional in the advice and service they offered but also treated us as though they cared and we matter. A bit like family."

— Richard Hardy (about Nick)

Nick was so helpful, sympathetic and helped guide me with the arrangements for my mums funeral, making suggestions for things I wouldn't have thought of. We used the service room at Kingshill house in Old Town, which is lovely, bright and great for a smaller intimate funeral, then their wake room. I would highly recommend Hilliers everything ran smoothly on the day and I couldn't have been happier with their service and support throughout a difficult time.

The whole experience with Hillier was fantastic. They were very understanding and catered to all our wishes. John was simply brilliant with everything! He was always on hand when we needed him and ensured the day ran smoothly. Could not have wished for a better send off for our father. Would happily recommend

From the moment we met Reece at Hilliers, we felt completely at ease. This was our second time arranging a funeral, and after a poor experience with a different funeral director, we were nervous. He listened, understood, and guided us with care and respect. He showed nothing but professionalism, attentiveness, and compassion. Our dad was treated with the utmost dignity, and the day itself was a peaceful, beautiful farewell. The recommendation of Alan Mulrooney as celebrant was an excellent one. He spoke about our dad as if he knew him personally, which made the service even more meaningful and special. The whole team at Hilliers made a very difficult time so much easier with their kindness and understanding. We are truly grateful for the care they gave our family and the wonderful send-off for our dad.

I warmly commend Hilliers to you. They were involved in the funerals of both my Father and Mother though some considerable years apart. They were kind and hugely helpful at difficult times in our families life. They were both professional in the advice and service they offered but also treated us as though they cared and we matter. A bit like family. Thank especially to Nick for his help and advice when I did not have a clue what to do.
