The chancellor granted permission for the exhumation of the remains of the petitioners' son in circumstances where increasingly restrictive opening times had been imposed at the cemetery where his remains were buried. The petitioners had initially chosen the burial site because it allowed them unrestricted access to their son's grave and they had gained huge comfort from the daily visits that they could no longer enjoy. The restrictions imposed had completely nullified the reasons for the petitioners' original choice of burial site. [RA]
