Hill Funeral Home

Hill-Skeffington Funeral Home and Cremations, serving the East Greenwich and Providence communities of Rhode Island, represents a powerful union of two historic funeral homes—Hill Funeral Home and J.F. Skeffington Funeral Chapel—each with over a century of trusted, family-centered service. Though the business now operates under the name Hill-Skeffington, the legacy of Hill Funeral Home at 822 Main Street in East Greenwich remains a vital part of its identity. Following a devastating fire on February 2, 2025, which destroyed the original facility, the team has demonstrated remarkable resilience by continuing to serve families without interruption from a temporary location at 700 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI 02818. The new, state-of-the-art permanent facility is currently under construction and is anticipated to open in 2026, reflecting the same commitment to compassionate, dignified care that has defined the organization for generations.

The funeral home provides a comprehensive range of services designed to honor every life with respect and personalization. Traditional funerals, cremation options, memorial services, and pre-planning resources are all available, with experienced staff guiding families through each step of the process. Recognizing that a funeral should be both healing and meaningful, the team helps families create personalized ceremonies that truly reflect the unique life of the loved one. In addition to on-site gatherings at partner facilities across the state, Hill-Skeffington offers grief support resources and a free preplanning checklist to help families prepare in advance. The business is also proud to offer accessibility features such as a wheelchair-accessible entrance and on-site parking, ensuring all families feel welcome.

Deeply rooted in Rhode Island’s history, the combined entity carries forward the legacy of John Michael Skeffington Jr., a third-generation funeral director who served the Providence community with dignity for more than 65 years before his passing in 2026. His dedication to public service and family care continues to inspire the current team. With a stellar 4.7-star rating from 23 reviews, Hill-Skeffington Funeral Home and Cremations stands as a beacon of trust and compassion. Whether families are planning a service after a recent loss, preplanning for the future, or simply seeking grief support, the staff remains available 24/7 via phone at (401) 884-9222 for East Greenwich or (401) 331-3900 for Providence.
