Cemetery
Village Cemetery
Cemeteries and churchyards are peaceful and tranquil places; somewhere to spend some quite time remembering loved ones. A place for reflection. A warm, welcoming place where you can sit quietly, alone with your own thoughts, or talk with others.
​
At Kirby Muxloe Parish Council, we pride ourselves on managing our local Cemetery in a professional and caring manner.

Normally, the funeral director will help to make the necessary arrangements for buying a grave at the time of death. However, there is an option available where you can reserve a plot which can be done by contacting us directly and we will be happy to advise you. The exclusive rights of burial is for 100 years and you will be issued with a copy of the deeds which proves ownership of the grave.
​
​
Please ensure that all arrangements for interments in the Cemetery are agreed with the Clerk to the Parish Council before any confirmation is given to any families involved. The necessary forms for completion are listed below:

Memorial Safety Check and Repair
Who is responsible for maintaining the memorial?
​
It is the responsibility of the Exclusive Rights Owner (the Deed holder) to maintain the memorial. If a problem arises with a memorial, we try to contact that person, asking him/her to attend to the repairs required. If they cannot be traced and the memorial is unsafe the Council will make it safe to fulfil our Health and Safety responsibilities. In such circumstances we would normally lay the memorial flat.
A copy of the Memorial Safety Policy is available for download on this website.
