Mourners have been told they could face reburying loved ones in a different cemetery – if they don’t want them to return to waterlogged Ayr.
Shocked relatives say they have been offered up options as far afield as Tarbolton or Annbank as an alternative to placing bodies back into underground concrete tombs, which have become flooded.
A group of furious families told Ayrshire Live how they have been informed that they would not be able to choose an earth burial in soil at Ayr Cemetery as there are only 60 spaces left.
