Kibworth Cemetery, Kibworth Harcourt
At Kibworth, a natural grave stays unmarked. If you’d like that kind of burial, or if being beside a partner matters most, I can check the choices with the burial board.
Arranging a burial here
The burial board’s terms cover residents of Kibworth Harcourt, Kibworth Beauchamp and Smeeton Westerby. If the person lived outside those parishes, the board allows burial only in a grave already owned, with written permission from its registered holder. I can check the details with the board before you choose a date.
Choosing a place for the burial of ashes
In Kibworth’s natural burial area, ashes can go straight into the earth or into a biodegradable casket. If you’d like a named plaque, tell me. There are separate cremation plots, and the choice of a plaque or vase depends on the plot’s location.
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.

Kibworth’s natural burial plots are for one person. If you would like to be buried side by side, the board can consider two neighbouring plots if there is room. The graves stay unmarked, but the parish manager keeps a record of exactly where each one is.
Finding an older family grave
The clerk keeps Kibworth’s more recent cemetery records. Older burial records are held at the Record Office in Wigston. If you have two relatives with the same name, even an approximate year of burial can help narrow down the search.
