Celebrating a Life at Littleover Lodge in Derby


When family and friends come together following the loss of a loved one, having the right place to gather can make a difficult day a little easier.

At Littleover Lodge in Derby, we offer a warm, relaxed and welcoming setting for funeral wakes, memorial gatherings and celebrations of life, giving you the space and time to remember someone special with the people closest to you.

A Place to Come Together


A funeral reception doesn't have to feel formal. For many families, it's simply an opportunity to sit together, share stories, look through photographs and remember the moments that made someone special.

Our team at Littleover Lodge understands that every gathering is different. Whether you're expecting a small number of close family members or a larger group of friends and relatives, we'll work with you to make the occasion feel personal and comfortable.

Funeral Catering in Derby


Having food and refreshments ready for your guests is one less thing to think about on the day.

We can provide funeral buffet catering at Littleover Lodge, with a range of familiar favourites suitable for guests of all ages. Dietary requirements can also be catered for, and our team will be happy to discuss any particular requests you may have.

Tea, coffee and other refreshments can be arranged, allowing guests to settle in, catch up and spend time together without feeling rushed.

Easy to Reach for Family & Friends


Littleover Lodge is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Derby, making us a practical choice for families looking for a funeral wake venue in Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area.

With easy access from the A38 and A50, we're well placed for guests travelling from Derby, Burton upon Trent and further afield.

We also have free on-site parking, so guests don't need to worry about finding somewhere to park when they arrive.

Accommodation for Guests Travelling to Derby


When relatives and friends are travelling a longer distance to attend a funeral, having accommodation nearby can be particularly helpful.

As well as providing a venue for the gathering itself, Littleover Lodge is also a hotel, meaning bedrooms can be available for guests who would prefer to stay locally before or after the funeral.

It can make arrangements considerably simpler, particularly when several members of the family are travelling into Derby.

Personal Service When It Matters Most


We know that organising a funeral reception is something most people would rather not have to think about.

That's why our approach is simple: tell us what you need and we'll do our best to take care of it.

As a family-run hotel in Derby, we pride ourselves on offering friendly, personal service. Our team can talk you through the options available, from the room and number of guests to catering and refreshments.

There doesn't need to be a complicated plan. Sometimes keeping things simple is exactly what's needed.
