petty council job worths makes my blood boil http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090804/tuk-mum-fined-for-baby-funeral-goodbye-6323e80.html

yes they refunded afterwards due to extenuating circumstances what a load of B~~~~ks lets see how they fell after losing a child.

 I have been there a son who was 6 and by a yob in a car and daughter who passed away from cancer. fortunatly  i did not have any problems over how long i wanted to say good bye .

 I hope the councillers there take a long hard look at themselves and there policies

[Dishevelled Den]

About par for the course now bh   Lord help us if even more power is devolved to local authorities

jesus christ on a stick!

i been through something similar i would of gone nuts!! luckily we was well accomodated

[HolyCount]

I, by the Grace of God, have not had to go through such an ordeal, however, just reading this brought tears to my eyes. I cannot imagine the grief of these poor parents and am incensed at the sheer ignorance of the council -- of all the circumstances from which to make money 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

For once I am speechless as it has got to me.........

I just cannot imagine it!!

[Brick Tamland]

W@nkers should be tortured and hung

I think the vicar should have known what was likely to happen and could have been more careful.

My view of crematoriums is that they run to tight schedules and I would not expect to be able to extend a booking at the last moment.

The lady could probably have done with more relatives to support her.

That is just Bloody Sick that is

[trainastock]

words fail me   

[feeutfo]

so every case would have extenuating circumstances surely?......"OF COURSE"!

Estate agent mentality is everywhere these days it seems to me.

[dippydave]

how can human grief be extenuating?

having been to more funerals than I'd like lately I feel there is a natural timing to it all, and that should be the way it is. Sensitive funeral and crematorium operators are very capable of ensuring folks move on in good time without being heavy handed but always sympathetic.

On another note Wayne, my sympathies go to you and your family for the past losses. this news must've brought up sad memories.

fcking morons need to be shot!

Just to stimulate debate, lets look at the other side of the story - they obviously have other ceromonies during the day, and have to prepare for those.  Crownhill Crem (I assume it was Crownhill) covers a large population area, and I know is a fairly busy place....

well noticed
 But surley they have a certian ammount of time between cerimonies that they can compensate for such things?

I guess so.  Though we all know that the media like to make a story, so maybe the grieving mother (only seems to be the mother from the local news) well overstayed her welcome...   :-/

I'm sure the crem organisers would build in some flexibility on timings - though that said, it does have a large catchment area
