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.

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.

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.

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.

Registering a death
A death occurring within the Leicestershire County Council area may be registered by appointment at any county registration office after the medical examiner or coroner has sent the required documentation.
