A Funeral Wake Venue in Littleover, Derby
Every family is different, and every celebration of life should feel personal.
Our experienced team is here to help with the arrangements and ensure everything is taken care of on the day, allowing you to spend your time with family and friends rather than worrying about the smaller details.
We can accommodate both smaller, intimate funeral gatherings and larger groups, with comfortable spaces where guests can sit, talk and remember their loved one together.
We also provide a dedicated memorial table, where families are welcome to display photographs, flowers, donation boxes, guest books and other special items. It can be a lovely way to share memories and create a personal focal point for the gathering.
Convenient for Derby Crematoriums
Our location in Littleover, on the edge of Derby and close to Heatherton, makes Littleover Lodge a convenient choice for families looking for a funeral reception venue following a service at one of the surrounding crematoriums.
We are well positioned for guests travelling from Markeaton Crematorium, Trent Valley Crematorium and Bretby Crematorium, as well as churches and funeral services held throughout Littleover, Mickleover, Heatherton, Derby and the surrounding areas.
With easy access to both the A38 and A50, Littleover Lodge is also straightforward to reach for family and friends travelling from further afield.
Funeral Buffet & Refreshments
We offer a specially prepared Celebration of Life buffet for £14.95 per person (price correct as of April 2026), designed to provide a good selection for guests following the service.
The buffet includes homemade sandwiches, sausage rolls, vegetable samosas, onion bhajis, hand-cut chunky chips, pork pie, spicy chicken wings and homemade assorted quiche, along with unlimited tea and coffee.
We understand that dietary requirements can vary between guests, so our chefs are happy to discuss specific requirements with you when arranging your gathering.
