Set within the peaceful heart of rural England, our historic Framland churches provide a dignified and tranquil resting place for those wishing to be laid to rest within sacred ground. Branston Church, Croxton Kerrial Church, Harston Church, Knipton Church, Saltby Church & Sproxton Church each offer centuries of spiritual heritage — from Saxon stonework and Norman towers to medieval churchyards shaped by generations of faith. Nestled among rolling fields and traditional villages across Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland, and close to Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Uppingham, Bottesford, Belvoir, Buckminster, and Waltham on the Wolds, our churches offer a serene and timeless setting for burials. We accept both casket burials and cremated remains (urn interments), ensuring families have the flexibility to honour their loved one’s wishes in a place of beauty, history, and prayer.

​

Many families choose to follow the burial or internment with a quiet gathering or wake at one of the area’s exceptional venues. Whether you prefer the elegance of Stapleford Park, Barnsdale Lodge, Hambleton Hall, Greetham Valley, or The Olive Branch in Clipsham, or the warm familiarity of local village pubs such as The Manners Arms in Knipton, The Red Lion in Stathern, The Windmill in Redmile, The Nags Head in Harston, or The Gregory Arms just outside Grantham, there are many welcoming places nearby to share memories and support one another. From refined private dining to relaxed countryside hospitality, the region offers sensitive, comforting options to accompany this important moment.

​

If you are considering a burial or internment within one of our Framland churchyards, please know that our clergy and wardens are here to support you with compassion, clarity, and care. We will guide you through every step — from grave availability and plot selection to arranging readings, music, or a graveside committal. To begin the process or to discuss your wishes, simply complete the enquiry form below or contact us, and a member of our team will be in touch. We are dedicated to helping you create a reverent, meaningful resting place for your loved one within our beautiful rural churches.
