Sarah and Peter lost their beautiful ten-year old daughter and only child, Jane, on 20th October *. Jane was run over by a fast moving car when, after school hours, she tried to cross a road that passed through the front of her school in Southampton. Sarah wants Jane to be buried in St Peters churchyard, in Southampton, a consecrated cemetery. Sarah and Peter live in Southampton. However, Peter wants Jane’s body to be transported to York and be buried in a family plot where Peter’s parents and grandparents were buried. This conflict in funeral arrangement has torn the couple apart and they are now separated. Jane’s body is in the morgue awaiting the resolution of the conflict between her parents. Peter has contacted you for advice.
Advise Peter.
with reference to relevant case law
Peter, this is a difficult situation. Here’s some general information on how disputes regarding burial arrangements might be resolved under English law:
- Primary Responsibility: Typically, the person with the right to arrange the funeral is the executor of the deceased’s will. If no will exists, this responsibility usually falls to the next of kin.
- Resolution of Disputes: If there's a conflict, the court can be asked to make a decision. Courts generally consider the deceased's wishes, the interests of the family, and practicalities.
- Relevant Case Law: Cases like *Buchanan v Milton [*] * FLR ** have established that courts can intervene to resolve burial disputes. The court typically aims to respect the deceased's wishes if known and tries to balance the interests of all parties involved.
It would be advisable to seek mediation to reach an amicable agreement or consult a solicitor specializing in family law for guidance on how to proceed with a court application if necessary.
