Arranging a burial here
Leicester City Council offers new graves at Gilroes. If you have a family grave here, I can help the council trace it and check the space and the registered owner's permission before a burial is agreed.
Burial of ashes at Gilroes
If you would like a grave where you can visit someone after the cremation, you can ask about leasing an ashes plot at Gilroes. If your family prefers scattering, the crematorium has a glade and a meadow for that. Tell me which feels right and I’ll check the arrangements.
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.

There are also vaults at Gilroes that hold two caskets of ashes. The council offers a choice that sits above ground with space for an inscription. If you have been keeping someone’s ashes at home, you can ask about placing the two caskets together.
Finding an older family grave
If all you have is a name and a rough year, we can start there. The council can look either side of the year you give. A former address or age helps with the search, especially when two relatives had the same name.
