The archdeacon and churchwardens sought a faculty for exhumation and re-burial of a coffin from an unduly shallow grave where sinking of the ground had exposed the coffin and caused the headstone supports to break the coffin lid. The plan was to exhume, re-dig the grave and re-inter the remains on the same site. The faculty for exhumation was granted on condition that the works be carried out discreetly and be supervised by the archdeacon or another priest. An order was made that the costs of the faculty and the exhumation and re-burial be paid by Lincolnshire Co-operative Funeral Services who were responsible for the original error, giving them 28 days to make representations as to why they should not pay.
