Applying Re Blagdon Cemetery [2002] Fam 299, the chancellor held that a desire to fulfil the wish of the petitioner's mother that her husband's ashes should be placed with hers did not amount to exceptional circumstances such as to justify the exhumation and removal of his cremated remains from one cemetery to another. The chancellor held that ‘a wish (however understandable) to reverse a decision made several years ago, which although regretted since was perfectly valid at the time it was made, is not sufficient, in my judgment, for these purposes’.
