An unfortunate revelation has shaken Sallyann Anderson, who purchased a burial plot next to her parents in 2018 at Coney Hill cemetery, only to later discover that someone with the same name as her had been buried in the plot. This distressing discovery was made on the anniversary of her father’s death, creating a distressing situation for Sallyann and her husband.
Upon seeking an explanation, Sallyann was informed of a “clerical error,” which sheds light on the systemic issues within the cemetery’s burial recording system, dating back to 1901. The delayed response from the council has left Sallyann and her husband in limbo, as they await further communication regarding this disconcerting mix-up.
The concerning incident caught the attention of City Councillor Alastair Chambers, who voiced the need for transparency and accountability in light of similar reports from other affected residents. The revelations have sparked justified outrage, prompting an urgent call for a thorough investigation into the scale of the cemetery’s problems.

However, the gravity of the situation underscores the imperative need for swift action and a comprehensive review of the cemetery’s management.
