In re Mangotsfield Cemetry: ConC 11 Feb 2005

The petitioner sought an order for the disinterment of his deceased wife’s ashes from the local authority cemetery. She had been buried in the wrong lot by mistake.
Held: Members of her family opposed the disinterment saying she had been buried with the remains of her son, where she wanted. Exhumation should be granted only in exceptional circumstances. These were not such.
