The chancellor granted a faculty for the exhumation of the cremated remains of the 92-year-old petitioner's husband for their re-interment in a family mausoleum in Puglia, Italy. The petitioner's remains were to be interred with her husband's in due course. All of the deceased's family had predeceased his wife and she was distressed that there would be no-one to care for or visit their grave once she had died. The chancellor held that the fact that the remains would join a family grave and would also liberate a plot for use by others amounted to a special reason for departure from the norm of permanence of Christian burial.
