New Lubbesthorpe is a modern and still-growing community without an established cemetery or crematorium of its own. Funeral arrangements therefore usually connect with established churches, cemeteries and crematoria in Enderby, Leicester Forest East, Kirby Muxloe, Blaby and Leicester. Bay Tree can coordinate the complete arrangements while your loved one remains in our care at our nearby funeral home and private Chapel of Rest in Blaby.
St John the Baptist, Enderby
Enderby Parish Church is the Church of England parish church for Enderby with Lubbesthorpe. It is on Leicester Lane at the corner with Blaby Road. Bay Tree can coordinate the funeral director’s responsibilities, subject to the church’s pastoral arrangements and availability.
