Samantha Ward, Lady Funeral Director at Bay Tree Funerals

A familiar person beside you

Hello, I’m Samantha.

You can call me before you understand the paperwork, know whether the funeral will be a burial or cremation, or have spoken to St Mary & James’s, St Mary’s Church, a local cemetery or crematorium. Tell me what has happened in your own words and I will explain the immediate next step.

I can coordinate bringing your loved one into our care, the church or crematorium, cemetery paperwork, minister or celebrant, hearse, music, service details and the personal wishes that matter to your family.

My job is to make a difficult time feel calmer, protect your family from having to chase different organisations and ensure your loved one is treated with dignity throughout.

  • Immediate guidance following a death
  • One familiar point of contact throughout
  • Church, cemetery, crematorium and officiant liaison
  • Clear written costs before confirmation
  • Personal involvement through to the funeral day

Care without being passed between departments

One small family team taking responsibility for the details.

Once your loved one comes into Bay Tree’s care, they remain at our funeral home and private Chapel of Rest in Blaby. Samantha stays connected to the family’s wishes, chapel visits and funeral arrangements.

This matters when clothing, prayer, a private family visit, a meaningful route or a particular service detail is important. You can discuss it directly with the person leading the arrangements.

Genuinely useful Lutterworth guidance

St Mary’s Church, Leaders Farm Cemetery, Rainsbrook and local funeral venues

Lutterworth has its own parish church, municipal cemetery and several local venues for funeral services or family gatherings. Rainsbrook, South Leicestershire and Great Glen are all practical crematorium choices. Bay Tree can coordinate the complete arrangements while your loved one remains in our care at our funeral home and private Chapel of Rest in Blaby.

St Mary’s Church

St Mary’s is Lutterworth’s historic Church of England parish church on Church Gate. The church has served the town for more than 800 years and is closely associated with John Wycliffe.

Church of England funeral guidance

A funeral at St Mary’s

Bay Tree can contact the church office and coordinate the coffin, hearse, timings, hymns, readings, music, printed orders of service and onward burial or cremation arrangements, subject to the church’s pastoral arrangements and availability.

St Mary’s churchyard

Lutterworth Town Council directs churchyard enquiries to St Mary’s. Families should not assume that a new grave or ashes space is available; current rights, eligibility, permissions and availability must be confirmed directly with the church.

Churchgate Community Centre

St Mary’s publishes that the Churchgate Community Centre is used by a wide range of groups and activities. A funeral reception or family gathering requires direct confirmation of availability, capacity, catering, alcohol conditions and current hire terms.

Lutterworth Methodist Church

Families connected with the Methodist Church can discuss a funeral or memorial service directly with the congregation. Bay Tree can coordinate the funeral director’s practical responsibilities where a service is agreed.

Faith funeral guidance

Lutterworth Baptist Church

Families connected with Lutterworth Baptist Church can make a direct enquiry about a funeral or memorial service. Bay Tree can coordinate the coffin, hearse, timings and onward burial or cremation arrangements where agreed.

Leaders Farm Cemetery

Leaders Farm Cemetery is managed by Lutterworth Town Council. The Council describes it as a peaceful place of remembrance and confirms that it accepts full burials and cremated-remains arrangements.

Current cemetery paperwork

The Town Council publishes January 2026 cemetery rules, a current interment form, memorial-permit application and 2026/27 burial fees. Bay Tree can help coordinate the required documents and timings.

Burial and ashes guidance

Memorial choices at Leaders Farm

The cemetery offers applications for memorial-tree leaves, columbarium plaques and memorial-kerb plaques. Current designs, costs, locations and permissions should be confirmed with the Town Council before ordering.

Rainsbrook Crematorium

Rainsbrook Cemetery and Crematorium near Rugby is one of the most practical crematoriums for Lutterworth families and offers two multi-denominational ceremony rooms.

The Avon Room

The larger Avon Room seats 143 mourners with additional standing room. The waiting area can relay the service on two further screens, and webcasting is available when requested.

The Drayton Room

The smaller Drayton Room seats 53 and is intended for a more intimate gathering. Both rooms can host religious or civil services, provide webcast and recording options, visual tributes, Obitus music and classical organs.

Service timing at Rainsbrook

Services are held at 60-minute intervals with a maximum of 45 minutes in the ceremony room, allowing time for arrival and departure. A shorter committal may follow a service held elsewhere.

Rainsbrook access and parking

Blue Badge parking is available beside the crematorium building. The Gardens of Remembrance can be reached using a gently sloping path from the car park.

South Leicestershire Crematorium

The crematorium at Countesthorpe is another practical choice. Its chapel seats 100, can accommodate around 200 using the foyer and provides webcasting, screens, accessible facilities and substantial parking.
