Belgrave Cemetery, Leicester
At Belgrave a further burial depends on space in an existing grave and the right permission. If you think your family has a grave here, ring me with a name. I can help check the record.
Using an existing grave
Burials at Belgrave are limited to existing graves with room for a further interment. If you have a grant or grave number, bring it when we talk. The council will need to check the space and obtain the required written permission.
Interment of ashes in a family grave
If your family hopes to bring ashes back to Belgrave, tell me who is already buried here. New graves are closed to purchase. I can ask the council whether the existing grave can take an ashes casket and whose written permission it needs before you bring the family together.
How much would it cost?
If you’d like to know the cost of an interment of ashes, give me a call. I’ll check the cemetery fees and explain any charge for our help. You can ring even if someone else arranged the cremation.
Call Samantha on 0116 278 8868Finding a grave without the number
The council can search its Belgrave records using the person’s name and the year they died. Their age or an old address can narrow things down. If you have a headstone photo, bring it along so we can check how the name was spelt.
Adding a name to a headstone
If there is already a stone on the family grave, take a clear photo of the wording before speaking to a mason. The grave owner’s permission and a council permit are needed for memorial work. We can help you check the paperwork before the mason starts.
