Burial Services at Whetstone Cemetery
Our focus is on helping families arrange the funeral itself — not just explaining cemetery information. We can guide you through the options and bring the whole arrangement together.
New Grave Burials
For families arranging a new burial plot, we can help with the funeral service, practical arrangements and next steps around the cemetery process.
Existing Family Graves
Some families may wish to use an existing family grave for a further burial, subject to grave ownership, cemetery records and approval.
Graveside Services
A dignified service at the graveside with a minister, celebrant, family speaker, prayer, poem or quiet reflection.
Our role is to make the funeral feel calm, organised and personal.
We can arrange the service, hearse, bearers, music, readings, flowers, printed orders of service and support around the cemetery arrangements where appropriate.

Burial choices
New Graves and Existing Family Graves
Every family situation is different. Some families are arranging a new grave, while others are considering whether an existing family grave may be suitable for a further burial.
New Grave Burial
A new grave may be chosen where there is no suitable existing family grave, or where a family wants to create a new place of remembrance for future generations.
- Suitable where no family grave exists
- Creates a new place to visit
- Memorial options can be considered after the funeral
Existing Family Grave
An existing family grave may sometimes be used for another burial, but this depends on ownership, cemetery records, available depth and cemetery approval.
- Useful where there is already a family resting place
- Grave ownership may need checking
- Approval must be confirmed before arrangements are finalised
Why families still choose burial
A Permanent Place for Family to Visit
A local resting place
Whetstone Cemetery may feel familiar and personal for families with strong links to the village.
Family connection
Burial can help families keep a sense of connection through a shared or local place of remembrance.
Traditional choice
Some families choose burial because it feels right personally, religiously, culturally or traditionally.
Lasting memorial
A grave can provide a permanent place to visit, reflect, place flowers and remember.

About Whetstone Cemetery
Whetstone Cemetery is located on Cemetery Road, Whetstone, Leicester, LE8 6LL. The cemetery is managed by Whetstone Parish Council.
Cemetery fees, grave permissions, interment forms, grave ownership records and memorial rules are controlled by the cemetery authority, not the funeral director. We can help families understand what may need checking before arrangements are confirmed.
Cemetery rules, fees, forms and availability can change, so current requirements should always be checked before confirming arrangements.

- Whether burial or cremation feels right for your family
- Whether the funeral should be traditional or simple
- Whether a graveside service would be suitable

Ashes interment at Whetstone Cemetery
Interring Ashes in Whetstone
Although this page is mainly focused on burial funerals, many families also ask us about interring ashes at Whetstone Cemetery.
This may be after a cremation has recently taken place, or when ashes have been kept at home for some time. An ashes interment can provide a fixed place for family to visit and remember.
The original funeral does not need to have been arranged by Bay Tree Funerals. If you already have ashes at home, we can still help explain the next steps.
Ashes interment may include:
- Interment of ashes in a family grave where permitted
- Interment within a cremated remains plot where available
- A short graveside service
- Help understanding forms and cemetery requirements
- Advice on memorials, plaques or inscriptions
