Hill-Skeffington currently operates from a temporary location at 700 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI, following the February 2025 fire that damaged their original facility. The business maintains its Providence location at 925 Chalkstone Avenue. A new state-of-the-art facility is under construction at 822 Main Street, East Greenwich, with foundation poured and framing in progress as of October 2025. The new building is designed to serve the community for generations with modern amenities while preserving the warmth and service standards the name represents.
Hill-Skeffington emphasizes personalized service planning that extends beyond logistics to create healing, meaningful ceremonies. Their staff coordinates directly with cemeteries, churches, and military organizations to manage details families might otherwise handle themselves.
Hill-Skeffington Funeral Home and Cremations represents the joining of two historic Rhode Island funeral homes—Hill Funeral Home and J.F. Skeffington Funeral Chapel—each with over a century of service to their communities. The combined operation now serves families from two locations: 822 Main Street in East Greenwich and 925 Chalkstone Avenue in Providence. John Skeffington serves as owner and President, continuing the family-centered approach that defined both original establishments.
On February 2, 2025, the business suffered a devastating fire at its original facility. Rather than suspend operations, Hill-Skeffington relocated to a temporary location at 700 Main Street, East Greenwich, maintaining full service capabilities while constructing a new state-of-the-art facility. Construction began in 2025 with foundation poured and framing underway; the exterior is targeted for completion by mid-November 2025, with move-in anticipated for 2026.
Throughout the transition, the funeral home has maintained its 24/7 availability and continued serving families through partnerships with other trusted funeral homes across Rhode Island.
