Wilbury Hills Cemetery

Wilbury Hills is our flagship cemetery on the northern edge of Letchworth Garden City. It caters for the diverse needs of our community, with a mausoleum building and separate spaces for different religious denominations. It was designed as an inviting, inspiring place that extended the green space of Letchworth, and the development won a Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice.

Chapel

The non-denominational chapel is available for services or meeting hire. The chapel has seating for 50 attendees and room for approximately 20 standing. Seating can be arranged to suit the requirements of the event.

A sound and visual system for music and videos is available, although any music must be provided and operated by the family, a Minister, Celebrant or organiser of the funeral. There are also Order of Service books available if required.

Grave spaces

All types of grave spaces are available for pre-purchase. The cemetery provides a wide variety of burial options, from green burials to family grave spaces and niche entombments.
