The Laceby Cemetery is owned and maintained by the Laceby Village Council and consists of several acres of land that was originally fields purchased by the Village Council at intervals when each field became full of burials. The fields were then divided into Sections and each section was given a designated number.
In total at present, there are 12 Sections within the Laceby Cemetery along with two cremated remains sections known as the Gardens of Remembrance.
