South Ayrshire Council chiefs once feared that more than 100 graves at Ayr cemetery had water ingress – as distraught families continue to beg for answers.
A letter seen by Ayrshire Live sent to worried relatives from local authority bosses revealed the grim data that at least 108 lair holders had been contacted.
The letter sent in December 2021 entails that 30 lair holders had given permission for their loved ones' final resting place to be checked and that 78 lair holders had yet to respond.
