Apology over reopened grave photos
Updated on 22 November 2008
A Church of England rector has apologised to a widow who was sent photographs of her late husband's grave after it was reopened to check who was buried in the plot.
The Diocese of Lichfield said the unusual action had been taken with the agreement of the family of George Hill because his relatives believed he had been laid to rest in a different plot.
But a spokesman for the diocese confirmed that the Rector of Armitage, near Rugeley, Staffordshire, had since apologised to Mr Hill's family after photographs of his coffin's name-plate, which they had requested, were posted through his widow's letterbox.
