The chancellor granted a faculty for the temporary exhumation of the cremated remains of the petitioner's father for their later re-interment in the same vault in St Andrew's Cemetery, Jesmond. On the day of the interment it had been discovered that there was water ingress into the vaulted chamber as a result of some fault in the construction or lining of the vault. The remains were to be treated in a seemly fashion and stored safely at the undertaker's premises until the construction of the vault was rectified, whereupon the remains would be returned to the vault. The petition arose not from a mistake being made or from any change of mind on the part of the family of the deceased but, on the contrary, from a desire to achieve what had always been intended in the creation of a family vault and the respectful interment of the caskets and remains of family members. Any refusal to grant a faculty would have resulted in the casket of the deceased remaining immersed in water and would have prevented the interment of any other family member within the vault. [RA]
