Families from Cropston and Thurcaston once used All Saints churchyard in Thurcaston. The local history society records that the churchyard closed for burials in 1935 and the parish then used the civil cemetery in Cropston. The year on an old burial notice can help you start in the right place.
Where to ask about a plot
The parish office is at the Memorial Hall on Anstey Lane in Thurcaston. That is the place to ask about the Leicester Road cemetery if you need to speak to someone in person. Check the office hours before making the journey.
