South Leicestershire Memorial Park and Crematorium

South Leicestershire Memorial Park and Crematorium

In the tranquil countryside of Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, South Leicestershire Memorial Park and Crematorium, established in 2015, stands as a family-owned haven for commemorating loved ones. Cremation services, typically lasting an hour, offer flexibility with extended times available upon request. The facility caters to diverse needs, accommodating religious denominations, non-religious services, and celebrations of life.

With a chapel seating 100 people (expandable to 200), the serene setting extends outdoors, accommodating up to 400 attendees. The Wesley Media System provides a varied musical selection, and live-streaming options ensure that services reach those unable to attend. Disabled access and a hearing loop enhance inclusivity.

Specialising in Hindu and Sikh funerals, the crematorium facilitates witnessed cremations through a glass wall and offers extended services for open coffins. The memorial park presents various commemorative options, including traditional headstones, natural burial of ashes, memorial benches, remembrance roses, and plaques. The Book of Remembrance immortalises names, and scattering of ashes, along with personalised urns and keepsakes, can be arranged. There is ample on-site parking and facilities to complete the thoughtful services at South Leicestershire Memorial.

Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the South Leicestershire Memorial Park and Crematorium in order to discuss your plans. We’d be happy to help you do this, so feel free to get in touch with one of our personal advisers.
