In similar news, a grieving widow is suing a funeral company after she says she spent 27 years mourning her husband at the wrong grave after his ashes were handed to his estranged mum in secret.

After Kieron Kenny died in 1989, aged 43, his widow Kathleen Walsham stipulated that his ashes be scattered in a garden of rest near their east London home rather than be interred in an urn.

Ms Walsham claims that would have been in-line with her husband’s wishes, because he had been "very claustrophobic and scared of the dark" and would have wanted to be "set free".

For the next 27 years, Mrs Walsham and her three children visited the garden of rest at the East London Cemetery, West Ham, on Fathers’ Days, birthdays and other occasions to pay respects.

But in 2016 they were shocked to be told Mr Kenny’s ashes had in fact been handed to his estranged mum, Iris Garbutt, and buried in a grave in Essex.
