New Grave Burials
For families arranging a new burial plot, we can help with the funeral service, practical arrangements and next steps around the cemetery process.
Existing Family Graves
Some families may wish to use an existing family grave for a further burial, subject to grave ownership, cemetery records and approval.
Chapel or Graveside Services
Wigston Cemetery has a chapel that may be booked for services, and families may also choose a dignified graveside service.

Current Oadby and Wigston cemetery information states that graves can be purchased at the time a funeral is arranged, and that advance purchase is available at Wigston Cemetery only. Availability, fees and cemetery rules should always be checked before decisions are made.

Ashes interment at Wigston Cemetery
Interring Ashes in Wigston
Although this page is mainly focused on burial funerals, many families also ask us about interring ashes at Wigston Cemetery.
This may be after a cremation has recently taken place, or when ashes have been kept at home for some time. An ashes interment or scattering can provide a fixed place for family to visit and remember.
The original funeral does not need to have been arranged by Bay Tree Funerals. If you already have ashes at home, we can still help explain the next steps.
Ashes options may include:
- Interment of ashes in a family grave where permitted
- Interment of ash caskets within the Garden of Remembrance
- Scattering of ashes where permitted
- A short graveside or cemetery service
- Advice on memorials, plaques or inscriptions
