The daughter of the deceased sought a faculty for the exhumation of the cremated remains of the deceased from the churchyard. The husband of the deceased had converted to Roman Catholicism and had expressed a wish that his remains and those of his wife be buried together after his death, in another local cemetery. The chancellor found no special circumstances that would warrant a departure from the norm of permanence and the application was refused. [RA]
