Anger In The Family Over A Burial Plot Error

A Lincolnshire family is outraged about a burial plot error.

After discovering that someone had been buried close to their father in a plot prepared for their mother, the Lincolnshire family stated they were "distressed."

Widow Penny Robinson purchased a twin spot at St Leonard's Churchyard so that she may be buried next to her husband Trevor.

When son Benjamin Robinson visited to place flowers on his father's grave last week, he noticed the error.

The parish council has issued an apology and stated that it is seeking counsel.

Mr Robinson told BBC Radio Lincolnshire that there was no longer enough room for his mum to be buried alongside her husband.

It was difficult to break the news to my mother, and the family was greatly upset "he stated.

"My mother is still upset about it."

His brother, Luke Robinson, stated that the family was seeking an explanation from the council and that the error be corrected as quickly as possible.

He explained, "They've offered us money back, which we're not interested in."

"We just wanted to make sure that my mother's final wish was to be buried next to my father, as they've been together for 40 years."

Mr Robinson claimed the family was advised by the council that his mother may be cremated and buried in the space between the two plots after contacting them "something she does not want to do and which has caused her distress.
