What do you mean by "LVM partitions"? Do you mean LVs within a
volume group, or PVs within which the volume group resides?
If it's the former, then you don't really need to worry about it,
as LVM will handle all of that for you.
If it's the latter, then your only real option, AFAICT, is to use
pvmove to shift all of the data out of that PV into other PVs in your
VG, then destroy the PV/partition.
