Designated cemetery areas for cremated remains graves
Dear Durham Police and Crime Panel,
Please advise if the deliberate and >UNAUTHORISED< removal of cremated remains, from a designated cremated remains grave area, situated in a cemetery, (on consecrated ground) , is a criminal act, and should be reported to the local police.
The cremated remains were legally interred three years ago and were completely removed, without permission, by two members of cemetery staff.
Thank you.
Pearl Clow.
