HILLIER FUNERAL SERVICE REVIEWS
Staff were all very kind, supportive and attentive to our needs. Lots of face to face meetings were no trouble for them and the service and funeral was stress free. Everything was perfect on the day and friends and family said how lovely it was that the funeral was a positive and fitting tribute. A special thank you to Nick, who arranged everything and looked after us.
Everything from the initial phone call, initial meeting and overall funeral ceremony was carried out with sensitivity, caring, professionalism, nothing was ever too much problem, always looking to accommodate our requirements. Thank you to all the staff at Hilliers for making, what is a difficult time for all families, such a straightforward, seemingly less painful and less stressful service from start to finish.
Couldn’t of asked for better care from the Hillier family team when dealing with the passing of our dad - Dennis - everything dealt with so professionally. Sharyn the celebrant was just perfect and the service was as upbeat as dad would if loved - thank you all so much.

PEARCE FUNERAL SERVICES REVIEWS
We chose Pearce’s for my brothers funeral I can not recommend them enough from the first phone call to to the end all the staff were amazing John came to my mums house to talk about preparations as to not put more stress onto her coming into the office they went above and beyond to make my brothers final goodbye the most special and stress free time. The receptionist Elizabeth has been amazing she is such a lovely kind and caring lady
We are cornish family, living in Swindon and we requested if we could drap a cornish flag over our dad's covin, they said no problem, they certainly are so professional and nice, being cornish we all wore the cornish tartan and some folk came in cornish tartan kilts, just amazing, but i noticed our driver had the cornish tie on, and not just the driver but all of the pearce staff had cornish tartan ties on, we were all so pleased.
I couldn't fault the exemplary service provided by John and his team for my mum recently. From our very first meeting he put us at ease with his caring professional approach. The actual service at the North Wilts Crem was also excellent in both preparation and delivery. Highly recommended.

MEAD FAMILY FUNERALS REVIEWS
My wife Karen sadly passed away in January 2022. I was devasted, tearful and unsure about the whole procedure of organising a funeral - my first time. Having known Jem and Karen Mead a little bit for some years through my small business I thought I'd break my family's tradition of using the "usual" Swindon firm and instruct Mead Family Funerals. And I'm so very glad I did. Every step was explained in great detail, with compassion, understanding and injected with a little subtle humour too - which I found strangely pleasant. Nothing was left to chance - this business is as respectful - and above all, professional - as anyone could possibly expect. If I could give more than 5 stars I most certainly would. Fantastic people and fantastic service - when you're at a point in life that all seems too awful for words, Jem, Karen and their team will look after you and help get you through it. I cannot recommend this business highly enough. Ten stars from me. Thank you so much, Mead Family Funerals - you made a very difficult time more bearable. Thank you.
When I recently lost my Mum, Jem and Karen of Mead Family Funerals were there for me and my family every step of the way . In fact they became one of my family during this time , helping and guiding us through the hard process of saying goodbye … without being intrusive in any way, they took away the worry and anxiety of making the funeral arrangements and gave my Mum and my family , care, kindness and respect and for that we will always be grateful. They do the little things that touch your heart . Mum joined my Dad with dignity and in peace..Thank you both so much.
Jem & Karen are the most sincere heart felt couple, they have made this all so much easier for us all at a very sad time. They have made everything personal and every little detail was perfect. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Love jackie Xcode
